Evidence of Ottoman genocide of native Cypriots:

In 1575 just 3-4 years after the Ottoman invasion/occupation of Cyprus, the Ottomans counted the native Cypriots to be around 180,000.

In 1881, or 306 years later the Ottomans counted again and found just 186,200 people on Cyprus!

In other words, after 306 whole years the population grew by just 6,200!

Figures taken from the Library of Congress…

...i'm not sure what you're saying GR, turning Cyprus into a backwater a few hundred years ago was a genocide, or that Cypriots who are Turkish have a good case against Turkey, now?

Whether it's true or bullshit, are you trying to justify Turkey's war crimes committed in Cyprus?
It's really hypocritical when Turks whine about genocides.

Anyone with an IQ of 85 and over should be able to see what that table is all about.

Thank god Turkey arrived when it did.

Several thousand CYs killed by Turkey, the Occupied Areas Ethnically Cleansed in a very, very real way and some pillocks are thanking God.

Clear off CF and take your hatred of anything CY and Bozzo with you.
