The end of Turkish Cypriot identity? - You betcha....

Turkish Cypriot professor says more population will come to the occupied areas of Cyprus from Turkey

Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (08.08.10) reports that Vamik Volkan, well-known Turkish Cypriot Emeritus Professor in psychiatry, has said that more population from Turkey will come to the occupied part of Cyprus and in ten years time no problem there will be regarding Turkish Cypriot identity.
In an interview with journalist Aysu Basri Akter, Volkan, who worked on the psychology of problematic areas in the world such as Israel, Ossetia, the Armenian problem and the Kurdish identity and has been advisor of US Presidents, noted that the identity problems experienced in Turkey will be reflected in [the occupied part of] Cyprus as well.

Volkan expressed the view that Cyprus is not on the agenda of the world now because there have been no bloody conflicts on the island for many decades. He argued that the Greek Cypriots do not want to create a Cypriot nation with the Turkish Cypriots. We will become trouble for them, because the population of Turkey has grown so much that they are afraid, he added.

Referring to the relations between Turkey and the occupied areas of Cyprus, Volkan stressed that the economy and the foreign policy in the occupied areas is totally dependant on Turkey. He noted: Many people will come here form Turkey. Wealthy people are also coming now. They are making millions of dollars worth of investments. Referring to the nationalists who support unification with Turkey, Volkan said this is in fact unification.

On the issue of building mosques in the occupied areas of Cyprus, Volkan expressed the view that the Turkish Cypriots have so many problems which cannot be solved with the building of mosques. I think that they should not do this. This is a reflection of the confusion which exists in Turkey, he noted. He pointed out that the old Ottoman model is being created in Turkey, where it is as if that the Government co-exists with the Caliphate.

They will, in the best case, build a few old "in the memory of" TC granny statues here and there, and call it a day
