allowed to emigrate

I too was allowed to emigrate.With napalm. $5,000 worth of napalm can allow every last remaining living thing in a whole town to emigrate in 3 days or your money back.

I wonder which is worse?Napalm or living with the fear of death for years...

Napalm kills you, fear doesn't, especially the fear which is a result of brainwashing of the TC community by its own leaders.

10s of thousands of Cypriots have actually died in the hands of the Ottomans and Turkish invaders. Yet the TC casualties during the conflict they started were on average fewer than the people that die in road accidents in Cyprus now. And you could have avoided having even those few casualties if you had not started the conflict against us in your effort gain privileges on the expense of our human and democratic rights.

Armenians, Maronites, Greeks ... all are casualties of, firstly, the Ottoman and, secondly, the 1974 Turkish Invasion! How many more historically significant groups will face genocide and ethnic cleansing at the hands of Expansionist Turks?


"At their peak, in the mid-1500s, Maronite villages in Cyprus numbered 62 and hosted a population of 80,000, nearly matching that of the native Greek Cypriots. After the Ottoman invasion, the population dropped sharply -- to 800. In the late 1800s, under British rule, a significant number returned, and by the time Cyprus achieved independence from Britain in 1960, Cyprus had about 3,500 Maronite Catholics."

Thanks for the above GR. I assume they are credible evidence;

I love this bit;

"Many Greek Orthodox fled Cyprus and those who stayed did nothing to participate in the defense of the island against the Ottomans, but instead welcomed with open arms their conquest of 1571 (McGuire 1967: 568-569; Palmieri 1905: cols. 2435-2436).
During this era, the Maronites must have sustained many natural and man-".

I do not deny that the numbers of Maronites diminished during the Ottoman period, but I am still studying your links. We know of the Ottoman depradations not we know about the Latin Catholic and Byzantine depredations.

Terrible innit?

Thanks again.

I hope you didn't miss this bit Deniz...

"The Maronites who adopted Islam were centered in Louroujina in the District of Nicosia and were called Linobambaci -- a composite Greek word that means men of linen and cotton"

Now where's that cotton candy gone...


Btw, I think you’ll find that Cypriot celebrations, upon the arrival of the Ottomans soon diminished …

I did not GR. Was about to enlighten our Lurucadi friend.

I was speaking to a friend of mine, he happened to be Italian. We were speaking of Cyprus--> Venetians---> nicknames etc.

He recognised immediately the nicknames used by a few of our families as Italian and that they were names of professions.

Now I know where I get my good looks from.

Hmmm... if so and first Ottoman settlers numbered about 20-30 thousands; then about 70-80% of Maronite properties were given to then GC families.. Would GCs thank to Ottomans for that or willing to restitute all Maronite properties?
