We are from Turkmen Tribes, migrated after the Ottomans took the Island and we were settled there to spread Turkmen ways and because of the Tribal structure to increase in numbers and provide an influence.

Text of the Firman (decree)
In a report I received from Lala Mustafa Pasha, the Governor of Cyprus, it is stated that during the war which lasted three years, many parts of the island were destroyed, and a new ambitious plan is necessary to re- activate the economy and use the natural resources of the island to their utmost. Therefore, I have ordered a plan to be drawn up immediately, and have given instructions to the Governor-General (Lala Mustafa Pasha) to utilize every possible source to develop the country, and to cultivate the fields, vineyards, and farms.
Subsidy and encouragement should be given to the new settlers, especially in the agricultural sector. In addition, the labour force should be expanded to cultivate adequately the fields, farms, and vineyards in the island. Instructions have also been given to the authorities in charge of the settlement programme to see that, among the interested citizens who want to settle in the island, professionals such as craftsmen and traders, shoe-makers, boot-makers, tailors, skull-cap makers, weavers, sack-weavers, wool carders, silk dyers and manufacturers, cooks, soup-makers, candle- stick-makers, saddlers, farriers, grocers, tanners, carpenters, master builders, stone-cutters, goldsmiths, and coppersmiths should be included, and all settlers should be allowed to take their personal belongings and professional equipment.
They should also be encouraged to take their sheep, goats, and farming equipment, and other essential material that will be required to continue their normal life. The immovable properties and lands owned by citizens emigrating to the island should be entrusted to their local authorities, and their respective owners should be compensated in kind. They should also be paid pocket-money subsidies and other allowances, together with their personal travelling expenses. The emigrants who are willing to go to the island should be asked to register their names and professions with the authorities, and after completing the formalities required, should report to the port of Silifke for subsequent travel to reach their destination in Cyprus before the autumn of 1572.
They should also be given expatriate allowance and certain additional privileges such as tax exemptions. Specific instructions have also been given to the authorities that the officials dealing with the emigration formalities should give every possible assistance to the emigrants wishing to go to Cyprus, and accelerate the operation of settlement to see that no complaints arise whatsoever.
Signed
Selim II
Sultan of the Ottoman Empire

Micheal
Lala, do you just go home and make this up. How is one supposed to read something that looks like a spider from an ink pot has just been dancing on your these parchmnets
Micheal
You formed the Ottoman empire, which started to decay the moment it began.
, North Africa, Eastern Europe, the Black Sea and became one of the GREATEST Empires ever, accepted by all historians Micheal
you collapse into the third world filth which you appear to inhabit to this day.
Micheal
The only reason that anybody has any interest in "Turkey" is that there are 70 million of you
Micheal
What is clear, is that you were sitting in your tents in Mongolia and nothing better to to then swarm across Persia and Iraq and end up in Anatolia. You formed the Ottoman empire, which started to decay the moment it began.

we love natureIbn Khaldun's contribution was, essentially, one great work: Kitab al-'Ibar ("History of the World"), which he started in 1375. Then in his 40's, he had until that time produced little in the way of writing beyond letters, poetry and a few essays written for friends and patrons. Instead he had lived history as he continued to do all his life, as a participant in public affairs.
Servants brought a macaroni soup called rishtah, to which the guest did honor by cleaning his plate, pleasing his host Ibn Khaldun explained that he had wanted to meet Tamerlane "for 30 or 40 years," because "you are the sultan of the universe and the ruler of the world, and I do not believe that there has appeared among men from Adam until this epoch a ruler like you." He then introduced his favorite theory, that 'asabiyah, group solidarity, was necessary for sovereignty, and the greater the number sharing the 'asabiyah , the greater the power of the sovereignty. "You know how the power of the Arabs was established when they became united in their religion in following their Prophet. As for the Turks ... in their group solidarity, no king on earth can be compared with them, not Chosroes nor Caesar nor Alexander nor Nebuchadnezzar."

It is up to you to decide if you are Cypriot, and therefore have a place on this island along with the rest of Cypriots, or a Turk that will be in Cyprus only temporary like it has been the case with all other foreign invaders of our island.
The Ottomans divided Greece into six sanjaks, each ruled by a Sanjakbey accountable to the Sultan, who established his capital in Constantinople in 1453. Before this division occurred, the Ottomans implemented the millet system, which segregated peoples within the Ottoman Empire based on religion. The conquered land was parcelled out to the Sultan's followers, who held it as feudal fiefs (timars and ziamets) directly from him. The land could not be sold or inherited, but reverted to the Sultan when the fiefholder died. So long as this system applied, the Greek peasants were in some ways better off than they had been during the time of the Byzantine Empire.
The Sultan regarded the Ecumenical Patriarch (which was not abolished because of the respect and tolerance the Ottoman Sultans had towards the People of the Book) of the Greek Orthodox Church as the leader of the Greeks within his empire. The Patriarch was accountable to the Sultan for the Greeks' good behavior, and in exchange he was given wide powers over the Greek community. The Patriarch controlled the courts and the schools, as well as the Church, throughout the Greek communities of the empire. This made Orthodox priests the effective rulers of the Greek village. Some Greek towns, such as Athens and Rhodes, retained municipal self-government, while others were put under Ottoman governors. Some areas, such as the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese, along with the Sphakiots of Crete, and the Souliotes (or Souli) of Epirus, remained virtually independent. For their part, the Patriarchs regarded the tolerant rule of the Ottomans as preferable to rule by the Roman Catholic Venetians, who threatened the Orthodox faith in a way the Ottomans did not. When the Ottomans fought the Venetians, the Greeks mostly sided with the Ottomans. The Greek Orthodox Church helped the Greeks from all parts of Greece to preserve their ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and racial heritage; this was mainly possible because the Ottomans did not interfere in this process.

How do you imagine to live with as you put it, "Barbarian Hordes", make up your mind man, one minute you love us and want unification, the next you can't stand us lol.
Oh and this mythological 3500 years common, are you also calling the Assyrians, Phonecians, Egyptians, Hitites, Sea Peoples all GREEK
Now, I can't be a Turk on Cyprus, so basically all the Turks of Cyprus must be exterminated, well thats just wonderfull common from the Civillised Pirastis isnt it.
The DullunOgullari, first set forth on this Island on 880 AD
AND WERE GREETED WITH FLOWERS BY YOUR PATRIARCH
Throughout the period of Venetian rule, Ottoman Turks raided and attacked at will. In 1489, the first year of Venetian control, Turks attacked the Karpas Peninsula, pillaging and taking captives to be sold into slavery. In 1539 the Turkish fleet attacked and destroyed Limassol. Fearing the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire, the Venetians had fortified Famagusta, Nicosia, and Kyrenia, but most other cities were easy prey.
In the summer of 1570, the Turks struck again, but this time with a full-scale invasion rather than a raid. About 60,000 troops, including cavalry and artillery, under the command of Lala Mustafa Pasha landed unopposed near Limassol on July 2, 1570, and laid siege to Nicosia. In an orgy of victory on the day that the city fell--September 9, 1570--20,000 Nicosians were put to death, and every church, public building, and palace was looted. Word of the massacre spread, and a few days later Mustafa took Kyrenia without having to fire a shot. Famagusta, however, resisted and put up a heroic defense that lasted from September 1570 until August 1571.

Pirastis
What I want is our land back that the barbarians (=turkish army) took from us. I have no problem to live with other Cypriots, but according to what you say you are not Cypriot but Turk just like all other Turks.
Pirastis
Who is calling them Greek?? Many came to Cyprus, but Cyprus always had a Greek Cypriot majority for 3500 years.
Pirastic
If you are a Turk, then you can be in Cyprus only as a foreigner according to the laws of Republic of Cyprus. If you are Cypriot then you can be an equal citizen of the Republic of Cyprus.
Micheal
over and over you keep shoving this forum with meaningless crap.
Micheal
Then for three hundred years or so you contributed nothing. IT NOT YOUR FAULT. Your not very good at being civilized.
Origins. The Khazars were a Turkic1 people who originated in Central Asia.
"Of all the astonishing experiences of the widely dispersed Jewish people
none was more extraordinary than that concerning the Khazars."
- Nathan Ausubel, in Pictorial History of the Jewish People (1953)
"The Khazar people were an unusual phenomenon for Medieval times. Surrounded by savage and nomadic tribes, they had all the advantages of the developed countries: structured government, vast and prosperous trading, and a permanent army. At the time, when great fanatism and deep ignorance contested their dominion over Western Europe, the Khazar state was famous for its justice and tolerance. People persecuted for their faiths flocked into Khazaria from everywhere. As a glistening star it shone brightly on the gloomy horizon of Europe, and faded away without leaving any traces of existence."
- Vasilii V. Grigoriev, in his essay "O dvoystvennosti verkhovnoy vlasti u khazarov" (1835), reprinted in his 1876 compilation book Rossiya i Aziya on page 66
"Though the Jews were everywhere a subject people, and in much of the world persecuted as well, Khazaria was the one place in the medieval world where the Jews actually were their own masters.... To the oppressed Jews of the world, the Khazars were a source of pride and hope, for their existence seemed to prove that God had not completely abandoned His people."
- Raymond Scheindlin, in The Chronicles of the Jewish People (1996)
In the capital city, the Khazars established a supreme court composed of 7 members, and every major religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Slavic paganism) was represented on this judicial panel. The Khazars thus sponsored religious tolerance in a time when surrounding countries persecuted those who refused to follow the faith of the rulers.
At a United Nations (UN) seminar, the tolerance that Ottomans showed to people of different religions was held up as an example to be adapted even today. The Ottoman social model in which different religion and nations lived under the same roof for hundreds of years was explained by Iranian philosopher Professor Seyyid Huseyin Nasr who addressed the seminar titled "Confronting Islamophobia: Education for Tolerance and Understanding." Nasr said, "There is no 1942 in the Islamic world nor is there an Auscwitz." During World War II, nearly 15,000 Jews were killed by Nazis at Auschwitz, but Jews from Spain escaped the inquisition and were sheltered by Ottomans. They lived with Muslims in peace for years. Nasr pointed this out saying, "European Christians and Jews escaping tyranny were not treated differently in the Ottoman model. "
The Patriarch was accountable to the Sultan for the Greeks' good behavior, and in exchange he was given wide powers over the Greek community. The Patriarch controlled the courts and the schools, as well as the Church, throughout the Greek communities of the empire. This made Orthodox priests the effective rulers of the Greek village.

The Ottoman Empire under the leadership of Sultan Selim I (1512-20) conquered the Mameluk Empire centered in Egypt in early 1571. At this time, although Cyprus was occupied and governed by Venetian lords, they paid an annual tribute to the Mameluk Sultan in recognition of his suzerainty. Following the Ottoman victory in Egypt, the Venetians paid their annual tribute directly to the Sultan in Istanbul.
