But no doubt, Denktash was never going to accept Turkey supporting the reinstatement of the RoC government with or without the TC element, or else Küçük and Denktash would not have refuse the request made by Inönü for them to go back to the government after the 1963 problems. The response from the duo was, “they would rather move to Turkey than go back to the RoC government”.!

I want to hear the opinions of the GCs on these questions...given the realities in 74 what was the best possible outcome of the Turkish invasion/intervention?????? Realistic answers please....

Fantasies, BirKibrisli, fantasies!
Here are the population numbers of TCs which show that the number of TCs did not go down in the mid 60's as most TCs would like to portray (i.e to blame the RoC) ...

I dare you to produce rear by year population of TCs between 1963 and 1974. You are one crazy woman.

You do it! Since you are the ones making absurd claims against all the evidence. All the data shows there are no significant differences between 1960 and ~1990. Sure there were some economic migrants. But, the significant differences (about 20% drop) came after that period ... coinciding with Turkey's push to change the demographics by colonisation.

That is a very interesting graph showing population movements. And there was me thinking you were a scientist, more like scientologist if you ask me.
