Territory as in "geographic region". Haiti and Dominican Republic are different territories and they are both bigger than Cyprus. IF you were native people and not colonists of the last few centuries then yes... when Cyprus was formed you could claim self-determination on those tiny parts where you are the majority... what you could NOT do even if you were native is to have a separate self-determination on the exact same land with us. It is not even possible to have two self-determinations on the exact same land! If your ethnic group lives on the same territory with another ethnic group which is more populous then your group is an ETHNIC MINORITY. Couldn't be more clear than that! The other thing you wouldn't have the right to do even if you were natives is to ethnically cleanse people so that you would become a majority in this way!!
