Hi all CFers
I thought I was beginning to understand the Cyprus Problem. Today, I read this by Mr Denktash (younger) -
"The Greek side attempted to occupy the entire territory of Cyprus in 1974, but the Turkish side did not reconcile with it and had to interfere. After the agreement signed in 1976, the Turkish Cypriots living in the south migrated to the north, and the Greeks living in the north migrated to the south. We had not occupied the northern territories. The only occupied thing in this island is the rights of the Turks'."
It was in news.az.
I am confused by his statement and can pin it down to two main questions.
1. Was the Greek side in enclaves prior to 1974? Meaning, they did not occupy the entire territory of Cyprus?
2. How are the "rights of the Turks" being occupied?
