Hundreds of thousands of people disagree with him.
Such a shame it came to this…
🤦🏻♂️I don’t care about his opinion I’m Cypriot not Greek.
Wait until he checks his 23andme DNA test results…
idiot!
You don’t have to denounce your nationality to be in peace. Yes you are either Greek or Turk (or Armenian or Jewish and all the rest on the island). In legal terms nationality is Cypriot but not the descent. There’s no Cypriot descent.
Holy shit we agree on something
I am Greek, so I am not too informed about Cyprus ( I haven’t been there) . But I think that this guy confuses ethnicity and language with nationality. Just let the people define their identity lol. Don’t tell them what they are not.
If he said “there is no Cypriot ethnic group”, then I would have agreed.
But there are clearly Cypriots – i.e. citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, and/or people whose ancestry is from Cyprus.
Clearly Tatar is trying to equate TCs with the Settlers, something that began since the era of Denktash.
Quite honestly the TCs have screwed up in this respect. Even if we forget about GCs and justice, they could have played their cards much better, making Turkey believe that they could make a deal with GCs that wouldn’t serve Turkey’s interests, so that they would have some leverage on Turkey. Instead of that they became Turkey’s puppets and allowed Turkey to fill the north with Settlers, and in this way they became irrelevant.
Moron.
Stfu I’m Cypriot not Turkish
I think deep inside y’all heart y’all know who you are , you know who’s wrong in the comment section , but believe me There’s no Cypriot with these two (Greece and Turkish) until y’all come together and then we shall know that their are Cypriot in cyprus .
As a Turkish I think creating the fully united government in Cyprus is the good choice. Since the island is not that huge it is better to make peace and live together.
He’s right. The only reason Cypriot is a nationality is because Britain did not allow Cyprus to unify with Greece like the other islands. (98% of Cypriot Greeks voted to unify with Greece). If cyprus had unified with Greece it would be just another Greek island. Cypriots were a sub culture of the Greek world like Cretans, Smyrniotes, Rhodians etc. how did Cyprus became hellenized just like other Greek islands and Cyprus started to home Turks the same way Anatolia and Greece started homing Turks…from Turkic invasions. Stop playing this silly game. Cyprus is the region, Greek and Turk are the ethnicities.
