No. They hardly have a minority status. And that, although their numbers aren't much lower than these of TCs, and they are even the majority in some regions.
Which shows again the subjectivity I mentioned in previous post.
So don't you think the Kurds are entitled to the same privileges in Turkey as the TCs want in a unified Cyprus?
I don't agree with this position. The TCs are a minority which was formed in Cyprus during Ottoman rule. No part of Cyprus ever belonged to the TCs, they were always a minority like say the whites of South Africa.
On the other hand the Kurds have been in their territory long before any Turks came and they are the majority of the Kurdistan area.
Therefore the TCs can not be equated to the Kurds. The Kurds deserve their own independent state of Kurdistan, since this is a territory which belongs to them. On the other hand the TCs are an ehtnic minority, and the territory they occupy today does not belong to them, they are only illegally occupying it.
Flipin 'eck Piratis. Why dont you just say Istanbul is Greek as well while you are at it. You are playing right into the hands of the partitionists who will fill the whole island soon with setlers and ****all you could do anything about it; since you will be the minority. You certainly know how to rub up the Turks shackles dont you.
Everyone knows Istanbul is Greek, including you, which is why you mentioned this.
Was!!!!....in your mind it still may be, but that is your problem.
Now legally not Greek.
Don't be so sure.
