[Lordo]

Lordo, will there be an English language edition of this book? If so do you know title and publisher?

Do you have the figures regarding land ownership as of 1960 by any chance? Between GCs TCs Church Efkaf and Government

[Nikitas]

I do not have the figures off hand, but some years ago a member here, Kifeas, had posted land ownership figures. The TC land ownership he had posted was somewhere around 12 per cent of the island.

Also, I recall a map published by the government in the 1970s, showing the pre 1974 population distribution using blue and red dots of varying sizes to show the distribution of the two communities pre invasion. If I recall correctly there was a legend to the map with land ownership figures.

There should also be old British records re population and land ownership. They would know since it is a taxation matter and taxes were a British priority.
