You can have your independence, sovereign country and everything else you want but not on OUR land. Go find your own land to have your country on because you have no right to take ours and we will NEVER give it to you.
Turkish Cypriots did own a chunk of Cyprus land, Piratis. Now, the actual percentage is still up for debate, but regardless, that hardly makes the entire island Greek now, does it?
The property the TCs own is spread all over Cyprus and not concentrated in any particular part of the island. Any way you divide Cyprus in 2 (East/south/west/north etc) the majority of
all parts is always Greek Cypriot (by a a huge margin).
If that was not the case then Turks would not need to perform ethnic cleansing of the majority of the population in order to declare the "trnc". They would have declared it over the territory where they were already the majority. But there was no such territory.
And it is not debatable at all how much TC own, since this is something recorded since the time of the British rule. (or maybe you will claim that TCs became the big land owners of Cyprus between 1960-1974? Well, that would be contrary to your other claims about that period, wouldn't it?)
Nobody said that the entire population of Cyprus is Greek. If you know of any country that the entire population is of just one ethnic group let me know. Minorities exist
everywhere, and the TCs are a classic example of one such minority.
