Never disagree on that and have firmly believed that for some time!
its when you decide to delete entire nations, cultures and people from the history of the world that we may have a problem agreeing.

If everything is to come under glorious Cyprus then why should their insignificant existence matter?

You need to know who you're going to rule mate. The Greeks are a noisy bunch.

Thanks GR! These, plus a few more, were the quotes I was referring to which mention Cyprus and "people from Cyprus" but never call them Cypriots. Yet scattered throughout the Bible are references to Greeks!
The people from Cyprus may have had other ethnicities (e.g. Phoenicians, Levites etc), but the majority have always been Greeks! [At least since Biblical times from present context.]
Hallelujah!
