I was born in Kyrenia, Can I become a "citizen"? Also some "Turkish" Cypriots do not have "Turkish" blood and speak better Greek Cypriot dialect than Turkish. I even know one family with a Turkish surname and first names who send their kids to a Greek Orthodox School in Sydney.Can they become citizens?
You have to reside in the TRNC for Im not sure but I think its 10 years now.
VP cut the crap, you know damned well that no one with a Greek sounding name would be given a resident's permit. The carpetbaggers on CY44 are always moaning about having to apply, recently they complained that they had to pass a medical to get their permits to stay in "paradise".
The recent poll said that 64% of carpetbaggers would not recommend buying in north Cyprus.
The end is nigh.Citizenship
