The stories of Cyprus being settled by heros of the Trojan war are definitely an invention as the Greek invasion seem to have happened probably 150 years after the war ended and the myth was probably created to give the rulers a bit of cred bearing in mindsome of the heroes were allgedely descended from the Gods.
Yes, round and round indeed.
Greeks in general can trace most of their ancestry to people that settled Greece and the Greek islands such as Cyprus from 7000BC and a lot earlier. That is the case for all nations. Human beings inhabited this planet for about 100.000 years. Nations and ethnic groups have only been created the last few 1000 years, and obviously their ancestors were people who inhabited the world before the ethnic groups were created. Greeks have a 3000+ years of history in Cyprus. In comparison the English have 1500 years of history in Britain and the Turks way less in Anatolia. If you will go back 9000 years back to dispute our ethnicity, then why don't you do the same for the "English" and the "Turks"? I will tell you why: Because you are racist and you believe that you can come to our island and tell us what our ethnicity should be.
You can go fuck yourselves 
Cyprus is a Greek island and if you didn't want to live on a Greek island then you should be more careful whom you invade and where you send your settlers.
