Turks, feck off from Cyprus! It's
Greek!!!!!
Yes the recent Anatolian post 74 settlers can go, and where you are talking about Turks
Turks showed larger genetic differentiation from both GCy (Rst = 0.0316) and TCy (Rst = 0.0229). The P-values between Cypriots (both GCy and TCy) and Greeks and between Cypriots (both GCy and TCy) and Turks demonstrated statistically significant differences, indicating population structuring (i.e., evidence of two independent “fixed” populations).
However if you are trying to present Turkish Cypriots as Turks then, as it said earlier:
In this analysis, GCy and TCy show a very small genetic differentiation (Rst = 0.0008). Other than this observation, for both GCy and TCy, the lowest Rst values were with the Lebanese (Rst = 0.0080 and 0.0063, respectively) and Greeks (Rst = 0.0113, 0.0098, respectively). Comparisons between GCy and TCy produced non-significant p-values (>0.05) through permutation, indicating a single panmictic gene pool.
They are Cypriots:
As for Cypriots being Greek:
A major feature differentiating Cypriots from Greeks, is the much lower frequency of haplogroups I (2.9% GCy, 7.3% TCy, ~10–21% mainland Greeks) and R1a (2.9% GCy, 3.2% TCy, ~10–22% mainland Greeks) among the former. All differences in haplogroup frequencies between populations were statistically significant (Fisher’s Exact test, p<0.001).
We have been otherwise been through this before before in this topic where I will again refer you to the following paper:
Y-chromosome phylogeographic analysis of the Greek-Cypriot population reveals elements consistent with Neolithic and Bronze Age settlementshttps://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13323-016-0032-8which states
Comparing the entire set of Y-chromosome haplogroups with those from regional populations surrounding Cyprus revealed a high Anatolian influence (mY = 66 %), followed by the Levant (mY = 24 %) then the Balkan regions (mY = 13 %, Table 2).
("Balkans merges Danube with Greece)
That is to say the majority ancestry is likely from what is now Modern day Turkey and the Lebanon.... "
And this small Greek element is likely present
almost as much in the Turkish Speaking Cypriot Population as in the Greek Speaking Cypriot Population, but not quite so much after taking into account the even smaller Post Ottoman Invasion additions.
