Campaigns like the "Turk to Turk, the one that blocked GC entry to TC areas, (even to collect the garbage), the burning and looting of GC businesses, the attack on Omorfita GCs in June 1958, and later the self imposed enclaves.
The policy is still there, though more "polite" these days and enforced with other means because killing would be too controversial, see what happened to Afrika newspaper for an example.
The "why" is interesting. Some believe that they want separation because they feel insecure. Others perceive an attitude of racial superiority which leads them to reject ties with any other community, and I believe this is more tenable, considering that they are as hostile to the other island communities as they are to GCs. In a larger scale, Turkey has bad relations with all itse neighbors despite the "zero problems policy" and this is traceable to their superiority complex.
to claim that tmt was was responsible for what you call self enclaving, i would say you would have to have been from mars to come to such a conclusion and ignore all the innocent tcs who were picked off the roads and fields killed and dumped into dry wells. but it cant be mars as it is not nasty enough place to produce you, you have to be from planet uranus. we still have people missing from 1963 ffs you stupid idiot.
yes rw it was directed at the creator and the rest of the assholes who created the myth of self enclaving.
