As a TC what will stop any fanatical groups from attacking TC villages or towns ? Or even non-fanatics simply seeking revenge for what they sufferred in 1974 post the coup that overthrew Makarios. What will stop TC's who go about their day-to-day lives from disappearing to only be discovered many decades later in wells ?
Who do TC's turn to in this hour of need considering in all likelihood the police, security forces, army, government offices etc will be staffed in the main by GC's ? The vast majority of TC's cannot speak Greek and only a minority of students or graduates can get by using English.
I know most on this forum will say there is nothing to fear and i sincerely hope that would be the case but this is a genuine concern for most TC's.
Thanks

SO why haven't the hundreds of thousands of TC visitors to the RoC disappeared over the 43 year period. This is an excuse the TCs use to demand the Turkish guarantees. This is a different era to the 60's, I do not believe for a moment that such a scenario would occur. Your fears are unfounded.
But some cars of TCs got damaged! The TCs want to know that if their car is scratched that they can call the Turkish army to send a regiment to kill the perpetrators of such heinous crime, and maybe kill a few 100s of other innocent people and rape some underage girls as a bonus.
