According to latest demographics the Turkish Cypriots, namely the citizens of the republic of Cyprus and their children that are of Turkish origin are now a minority in the TRNC as well. According to the latest demographics Turkish Cypriots are less than 35% of the total TRNC population. The rest 55% being settlers mainly from Turkey instated there by the Turkish state through benefits and the 10% being the Turkish occupational army.

tha above is not an "article" its an opinion

No it is an article that I wrote for this forum. It has basis some information that I cannot 100% say that it is correct however it is plain logic to come to this conclusion since TCs were about 118,000 on 1974 and now they claim to be 264,172(above 120% population increase).

Well even if there was so much births in the occupied territories... get some simple maths down and you will see that is plainly impossible. Using some statistical methods as for general population age distribution, life expectancy, etc. You will clearly see that the influx of settlers has clearly changed the demographics in TRNC in such a way that Turkish Cypriots are now a minority in TRNC.

I would certainly be interested to see the results of the "official" census carried out earlier this year in the occupied area of Cyprus. If the census shows (if it doesn't then it was a pointless exercise) a split between TC background and Turkish background then that will be THE most important fact in the whole document.

It dows not show anything of this. The only reference I found and the numbers I based my statistical analysis in are from Turkish and Turkish Cypriot media so as to prove how stupid they think we all are!
