Unfortunately, like you said the 37% is occupied since the 1974 invasion. Greek-Cypriots were raped and forced out of their homes and their land and they are 80% of the population.
Cyprus won its independece in 1960 from the British (who have been on the island since late 18th century).
The Turks came to the island for the first time on 15th century.
The history of the island is totally Greek so if someone is going to refer to the island then at least should do it correctly cause otherwise is only doing propaganda and helping the wrong information to be known.
Attempts are made that the political situation is resolved but I am not very optimistic.
- mattmaroon 18y agoWell, if the part they were vacationing in is technically Turkish, then it was a Turkish vacation. That's what I read somewhere, though I have no idea if it is true.
- volida 18y agoSo because there are 34 million Spanish speakers in US I am going to say US is Spanish? There are 3 million Greeks in United States but If I come to US I suppose I'd say I am going to Greece? The only excuse to call it a turkish party is if there was a Turk amongst them. Otherwise is wrong and irritating. Otherwise, the only reasonable way to refer to it, so not to provoke, is call it a Cyprus party.
