Sounds close enough I believe. I will look at it better in the morning after I sleep and I am not tired as a dog and I will let you know then for sure.

This is a website from the Turkish military controlled occuppierd areas of the Republic of Cyprus. These even if they are correct they are not legitimate and their only purpose is propaganda as you would expect from an illegal[1] military regime. Please try and read history from external independent sources.

GC mentality, they cant see the wall in front of them. Keep it up and you will continue to bang your head on that wall until the day you realize you could walk around it or you die of blood clots to the brain. Your choice....

What do you mean? For any factual information to be valid it has to come from a recognized government ? So if I'm a Turkish Cypriot scientist or journalist or artist, anything that I might do would be invalid, because an unrecognized regime considers me its citizen.

It is not accurate at all.


Firstly for the ancient times it tries to hide the Greek influence on the island. Somebody that is reading that document would be wondering how 82% of the population speaks Greek today and not something else.

Secondly it is totally inaccurate when it comes to the recent events, at which point not only it is inaccurate but it is shamelessly lying in a lame attempt to excuse the crimes and illegalities committed by Turkey against Cyprus.

Piratis, you shouldn't even bother reading it. If it comes from an unrecognised illegal source it is by default disqualified.
