At best, there are only 70,000 TCs in the north and getting less by each passing year. That figure may even be as low as 50,000 TCs. By allowing Illegal Aliens from Turkey to obtain "trnc citizenship" does not make them Turkish Cypriots. It only makes them "trnc citizens" for what it's worth, which has far less value than being citizens of Turkey. The only Cypriots who can claim to be Turkish or Greek Cypriots are the once who are eligible to obtain Cypriot (EU) passports from the RoC. If they cannot, then they are by no means Cypriots. You just have a lot of fake TCs in the north masquerading as true TCs. Then again, you have a lot of fake things in the north. That's the reality which you cannot stomach to face, but rest assure, I'll remind you when ever needed.!
Thanks Kiks. So let's revise the figures of TCs around the world:
Turkey's regime in Cyprus, 70,000
United Kingdom, 130,000
http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/multilingual/turkish.shtml(I still believe this figure is too high)
Turkey, 30,000
Australia, 25,000
Germany, 10,000
Canada, 5,000
United States, 5,000
Cyprus, 2,500
So, this still means nearly
three times as many TCs choose to live in western democracies as choose to live in Turkey's outlaw regime in the north.
Despite all that's happened, all the bad blood and incessant fear-mongering being spouted by the likes of VP, some
3.5% of TCs on Cyprus choose to live in the free areas.
And, if we take the lower figure of 50,000 TCs living in the outlaw regime, some
5% of TCs on Cyprus choose to live with the "despots" in the free areas. That's one in every 20 TCs on the island.
