The figure of 42,795 which was the number of TRNC citizens with at least one other foreign passport did not include the real Turkish Cypriots who had Cyprus passports. These people were buried in the 133,937 figure which were the numbers of TRNC citizens without other nationalities.
If they told us that,it would have given us a good indication of the number of real TCs left in Cyprus. The ommission was not accidental of course.
It was designed to hide the fact that TCs are now a minority even in the TRNC...

In other words,the majority of those who call TRNC home are people with roots and alliegences elsewhere. These people consider the GCs as the enemy,and the RoC as a foreign country. What can we expect from this population? To demand the withdrawal of the Turkish troops? To demand at least the end of military rule in the TRNC? To demand reunification?

Perhaps now our GC compatiots can realise the dire straights the real TCs are in? Perhaps now the RoC government can institute policies and measures to win over the real TC population,because they are in no state to help themselves any longer.

I dont understand how does having a RoC passport make one a "real Cypriot", simply from the top of my head, i know at least 10 people who do have the RoC passport purely for travel purposes and are definately NOT up for unification, they are simply taking advantage of the RoC.

So according to what you are saying Bir, people like my grandparents who have bearly ever left the island and myself, who hold only a TRNC passport, are not "real Cypriots" but the ones that do hold a RoC passport and the ones, like yourself, who live abroad and want unification, are "true Cypriots" ?

Please care to explain because im totally confused...

...and on another note, i am also not sure how you can suggest that these figures can proove who is fond of the GCs and who is not! There can be just as many "non-real Cypriots" who do want to join as there are "real Cypriots" who do not want to see another Greek face ever again, which i personally believe is more likely, therefore suggesting that having a RoC passport doesnt make anyone a "real Cypriot"...
