And I cannot stand people who refer to Turkish Cypriots as 'Ottoman Remnants' either.
Are you aware of the FYROM issue? Where some people in a certain country do not like their past and forged something else to call their history and forged a different language which happens to be an idiom of another nation they are actually part of but only a handful accepts?
Apparently, you have a similar syndrom.
I'll re-post what happened in 1931
Cypriots demanding Enosis, the union with Greece, instigated their first serious riots. The government-house in Nicosia was burned down; martial law was declared afterwards and the legislative council was abolished. The Greek National Anthem and the display of the Greek flag were banned. The British invented the terms "Greek Cypriot" and "Turkish Cypriot" and used the latter against the "Greek Cypriots" so as to cease Enosis demands.
Apparently, that's your identity. Fake Cypriots who are Ottoman reamnants. We know it, you need to accept it. Is it really so bad to be Ottoman? Why don't you just accept it? Ottomans had a vast empire, not much to be ashamed of.
If you wanna say things are in the past, you also have to accept that past and what that past has made you... Otherwise your words has less credibility than fart. For your own sakes, accept your past.
