Why do Turkish people call Cyprus as "Greek Cyprus" when the whole world calls them as just "Cyprus"?

However “Greeks” and “Turks” define themselves in Cyprus, the rest of us not “Greek” and not “Turkish” should never forget that of the thousands disappeared and those murdered outright, for the most part while Greek or Turkish, they were (and continue to be,) “their” victims, for “being” Cypriot.

Let’s also not forget that a Bicommunal Bizonal Federation (BBF) may be best defined by countries like Canada, and the USA where this notion: Freedom, is expressed as Individual Rights without further distinction or discrimination under a Rule of Law; and Liberty, as Persons, having as such, self-representation at another level of government, as constituencies.

In Cyprus, despite the decades of having been physically torn apart, as voters, whether Turkish or Greek, about half are not “Greek” or “Turkish” (having their own candidates), voting as Cypriots instead, for Cypriots representing this identity.
