99 percent of Turkish Cypriots loyal to motherland, Küçük says

ISTANBUL – Anatolia News Agency

The number of Turkish Cypriots wishing to break away from Turkey is very few, İrsen Küçük, prime minister of Northern Cyprus, said Sunday.

Speaking to reporters in a breakfast in Istanbul, Küçük said, "There will be a minority in every society. However, 99 percent of all Turkish Cypriots are loyal to the motherland, Turkey."

“The will of a minority of Turkish Cypriots to break away from Turkey should not be paid much attention to. Our hearts beat differently for our motherland and Ankara.”

“We experience certain difficulty as a country not recognized by the world, except by Turkey. Our motherland helps us feel less difficulty through assistance, he said, adding, “We are in the process of establishing Turkish Cypriot Airlines.”

“We were pleased to see Turkey grow by 9 percent in 2010 and the Turkish per capita income reach over $10,000,” Küçük said.

“We look at the developments in Turkey as examples and work accordingly. Our economy shrank by 6 percent in 2009 but grew by 4 percent in 2010. With Turkey's support, we expect the northern Cyprus tourism sector to grow by 70 percent in 2011. In 2012, our goal is to balance the northern Cyprus budget for the first time in the history of our republic.”

How embarrassing..

[Get Real!]

99 percent of Turkish Cypriots loyal to motherland

And how many GCs are still loyal to their bankrupt Hellenic dreams?

Let’s face it, there’s a lot of WEEDING required Cyprus-wide…

Those who think that either Turkey or Greece is “cool” and worthy of their loyalty, need to raise their standards big time!

But you really do have to be specific.
Vast majority as in 90% or 98%?

I would guess that this would be true for 95% of GCs and TCs. Sad as it may be this is fact.

ASSUMING YOU ARE RIGHT, that is circa 810.000 gCs and 71.000 tCs!
A total of 880.000 Cypriots!

The real sad thing is that 35.500 people hold hostage an entire nation! That is the very definition of sadness.

Courtesy of a failed empire back in 1960 and its divide and rule policies, whose hypocrisy continues unabated!

A very good point, but bearing in mind I am one of the 35.500 I cant complain
