...indeed, "your" gripe is with Britain (legally speaking); they Leased the island from Turkey, taking it from "Them" the Ottoman remnants with the foundation of a Modern Turkey that is itself more torn apart than ever about "Turkishness" (also seeking Constitutional reform), and what it means with Erdogan's efforts to move away from Ataturk's (original) vision.
Cypriots, like Turks, and now Ukrainians are being torn apart from their Humanity for "This"; this is the Problem.
...and yet who denies their very existence but the "Greeks" and the "Turks", despite the decades where they have been torn apart, this island's dwellers. Who but Cypriots have held the country, and their identity, together having never once voted overwhelmingly for one of "Their" candidates despite the efforts put into a mythic reality where all Greeks are "Greeks" and all Turks are "Turks".
To answer your question Olcay, people are not chattel; those days one hopes are no more.
Cypriots are a People who put greater confidence in Universal Principles and who continue to defend these values, 'our' Basic Human Rights. In effect, i suggest Olcay if you are against "Greekness" you cannot be for "Turkishness", in Cyprus, because they are the same; Cypriots know this (so does the rest of the world).
