My 90 year old father and 83 year old mother are Cypriot Turks and even though they lived through and survived the Turkish/Greek wars, they never taught me to hate Greeks. Dad said atrocities were committed by both sides and he refused to condemn an entire nation for the actions of a minority. Dad’s best friend is Greek, he speaks the language and respects the people. If only all Turks and Greeks could think the same way.
Cypriot Turks? There is something like that? All Cypriot Turks I’ve met told me for a fact that Cypriot Turks do not exist and are instead Islamized natives who have been forced into Islam through taxation.
So in this interviews we can see different points of view between young people : They trust on Greek Cypriot people;and old people : They don’t trust on the other side of the island,because They remember the tough times when the two communities fought and then They decided to split the Republic in two states , the North Turkish and the South Greek.
before the war Turkish Cypriots was live around Cyprus in some villages and some parts of Towns. After the war the Turkish army forced Greek Cypriots to leave from their homes and all Turkish Cypriots went to the north part and took Greek Cypriots homes and land.
In this interview they featured 3 guys that are clearly from Turkey and are not cypriot in anyway. Why are they being asked this question since they are clearly not cypriot?
If one knows Turkish, they can sense the relatively long vowels in Cypriot Turkish dialect at the end of the words and/or sentences, especially at the end of question sentences . You can distinguish who is from Turkey and who is not with that. (OF COURSE, there may be native Cypriot Turks speaking with Istanbul dialect, they always see it in their media, there is always exceptions :)
Someone educate this guy.... 1:17 Greeks raped? Raped who? Someone teach this guy about the Istanbul pogrom so he can learn about who the rapists and murderers were. Not the greeks that's for sure. Like i don't even have to talk about 400 years of Ottoman rule and all that because that's hopefully obvious. But as he said "from what we've heard from our elders" so clearly his sources are not actual sources but propaganda passed down by generations
@@nursezatufek5716 lol, the Ottomans invaded/killed/enslaved Greeks/Armenians/balkaners and other Christian people. Who do you think is the victim? Do you know anything about devshirme? What about the Instanbul pogrom even AFTER the Ottoman empire Imagine being the people who conquered and still inhabit other people's land and acting as if the people you've invaded and occupied for 400+ years are the ones to blame for the aggression
@@wonderlandian8465Greeks also invaded Turkiye (1919) and Persia(Alexander). They also invaded different places. Greeks were the ki@ers. They ki@ed a lot in Cybrus and Anatolia and Balkans. Ottomans tolerated everyone. Devshirme wasnt made if the parents dont want it. Even if it is forced, devshirme had more rights. Most elites were devshirme. Only late Ottomans ki@ed people. Not the early and middle. My fathers' grandfather says Armenians ki@ed lot of people in Erzurum. And he fought againist Armenians in Turkish War of independence. I dont deny Ottomans ki@ed too. But Greeks werent angels either. In Cybrus its the Greeks who caused probkems though.

@@boracematalay787We know about the bloody christmas, it's a tragic date for both generations. But it's not something that could stop us for improving our relationship and becoming closer, we're already pretty close to eachother ethnically and culturally. It's time to become, even more. Hi from the "Greek" Independent and rich unlike Greece part of Kibris.
@@jjackuusanUhm, from when Greeks and Turks were ethnically close. Turks are Turkic people who origintae from Central Asia dn Greeks are Indo Eurooean people who belong to Greece.
I am Nigerian and have absolutely no right to this discussion, but you can see differences between two different Generation, the younger generation really wants nothing but peace and because most of them did not see the war, they don't want to live on what the older generations told them, they want to create their own future and not dwell on a fight they absolutely no nothing about aside what they were told in schools
Conclusion: Older generation is hostile, distrustful and still wears the painful scars of the past. However, younger generation tends to give more chance, ignores the ethnic issue and looks forward towards improving relations. That is true for both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. And that gives hope that in future a restoration of an unified Cyprus could be achieved.
Guys in1:15 and 1:30 are not Cypriots. They are speaking Turkish with a Kurdish accent. and the guys in 1:39 and 2:34 are not Cypriots either. They are not speaking Cypriot Turkish accent but mainland standart Istanbul Turkish.
In our school/south cyprus They taught us that turks tortured cypriots And here they say Greeks tortured Turks And im here like :British are the ones who have to blame for this Because they were involved
True that. it was all a plan actually, theres a youtube video laying around spilling all the beans about how the british was planning to cause this divide between us since the 50's
Its nationalism Both sides done it but nobody cares This argument always happen in 1820s or 1920s. Both Greeks and Turks cry over how they lost 10000 million in fake events.
That was so true.In my history class in north side they showed us pictures of dead people that were burried alive and things like that.There are two sides in this story. Cyprus history has to contain both.
here in cyprus they have our half country and they say that we did bad things to them. Thank you for all the Turkish people who trust us because we all are humans and we all make mistakes Greece made mistakes Cyprus did and Turkey did.
"From we've heard from our soldiers"? .The second Turk says Rapes,Murder etc. " "'from what he hears"?does he know any of this firsthand? is it all hearsay? Boy
Second guy has an Eastern Anatolian accent. So he is probably came to Cyprus after Turkish state tried to boost the "Turkish" population of Cyprus. Remind you that, "Turkish" Cypriots are just Muslim Greeks. Cypriots share the same gene pool.
I get what u mean, but generally people in cyprus( I m talking about both sides rn) cypriot greeks are scared of NATIVE turkish people from turkey and cypriot turks are scared of NATIVE greek people from Greece, we are not scared of each other we are scared of guarantor countries, cypriot people didn’t kill each other, greece and turkey came to the country and killed us all
As a Cypriot, I will say this, got plenty of Turkish friends here, and they wouldn't mind we all lived together as one nation. Seriously this dispute between us needs to stop one day. What ever happened in the past should stay in the past and we need to look forward into the future.

I am from the other side of Europe and have nothing to do with the Cyprus issue, but there are things where I dont understand: If the turks are just 20% of the island population, how the hell do they expect to have a rotating presidency when the greek christian population is 4 times their size? If you are a minority of 20% or so, why should you have equal political rights? The best you can expect is the same status as the ethnic hungarians in Voivodina, Serbia. You cannot expect equal political power or representation. At least there is hope: the young people just want to drink beer together.
Just some statistics about this video: 5/7 of people who said "No" were Turkish (from Turkey), not Turkish Cypriot. A total of 5 Turkish people were asked about opinions, all of whom said "No". 5/7 of Turkish Cypriots said "Yes". This video doesn't provide a reliable "public opinion" of Turkish Cypriots.
That may be true, but note for instance that the gentleman at the end (who says that "Turkey will never leave Cyprus") told us that he's been here since the 1980s - meaning that he may well be eligible to vote in a referendum. Many Turks from Turkey are part of "public opinion" too.
Nevertheless CM, a turc is a turc even if he's here since the 1980's and whether he votes or not in a referendum his opinion on the greeks is irrelevant.
You are correct, Turks from turkey that LIVE in turkey , the majority of those people asked said NO. The same thing for mainland turks who live on Cyprus. There should be no deal. The status quo should be left alone.
LOl people which say no are general the old people which are Turkish Cypriot. The young too seam like Turkish Cypriot, they have all the accent, and they seam like more for peace than their elder.
I think it's time that both Turkey and Greece kept out of Cypriot Affairs and let us talk freely for ourselves then I am sure a just solution will evolve.There will be hurdles but without outsiders interfering (for their own selfish objectives I may add) they can be overcome. We have our own unique languages , customs and way of life which are not the same as mainland Greeks or Turks. Many Cypriot Turks are worried that they are being pushed aside with Turkeys policies.Not once have I seen any ethnic issues between us here in UK in fact quite the opposite.On my first visit to the North I was apprehensive but in reality we could not believe people were actually very welcoming it was like they realised the people in the south were not Aliens ! What worries me the most is the fact that Turkey is continuing to tighten it's grip and soon the Turkish Cypriot minority there will have no say (by minority I mean amongst the settlers) I have deleted a lot more from comment because I have a tendency rant when a subject is so close to the heart . Just hope to see a viable and just solution in my life time Now that would be a PARTY . SEE Turkish Cypriot demo protesting Turkey's Cyprus Policy - 07.04.2011 Never seen demonstrators with such passion
The lady is complaining about the Greeks not being fair with the Turkish side. Seriously? The Turks illegally have control over 1/3 of Cyprus. You have no right to complain. Its not your land. Also the guy at 1:25 is wrong. You took over Greece for 400 years and you're complaining about us torturing you. Get off your high horse. I am not against Turks, but I am against that old mindset. I'm personally alright with Turks in Cyprus, but that's if the Turks give back Cyprus to the actual Cypriots so that the Turks get the equality they want and the Cypriots are happy having their country back.
Agree 100% the lady at 0.45 seconds is completely wrong... She states that "they (the Greeks)" "they are not giving anything" Costa, as you mentioned, What more could the Greeks give, the Turks have illegally invade & have taken people’s homes , properties & have made 200K refuges in their own country. The Turks need to stop & think, whose home are they living in? Yes Cyprus is for all Cypriots. The fact that a small minority are holding the remaining island at ransoms is disgraceful.
Well as i have posted on other videos on Cyprus, Turkey should be ashamed of the actions & the way it has conducted themselves. The occupation is illegal, there is no justification for Turkey to remain ( as a military power or sudo state) in Cyprus. Look at Varoshi ( varosha) for example , they stolen the properties, lands, homes & livelihood of the residence of Famagusta, and have allowed the hotels & homes to be looted, then abandoned , leaving them closed off from the rest of the Island for over 44 years to date. If the Turks cared in any way about Cyprus , this should of been returned to the residence immediately after the ceasefire in 1974, not held captive 44 years later with no settlement insight. Shame on Turkey, & shame on the International community for allowing this to occur & prolonging a settlement.....
Hi ArcticHawk. Interesting reply on a public forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the situation in Cyprus. Hopefully with more people being made aware of the issue, a resolution may be sort.
Ken Nizam so if living in unity is what everyone wants, when can we return back to our homes? I will go tell my mother to pack her bags, so she can go back to her house in Kythrea, because you said its ok!!!
I agree. He also said we raped and murdered some of their people. But when the war was happening in Cyprus they also raped wife's while their husband was forced to watch. And they raped their daughters too. Then they murdered the wife and daughter and hang the husband. So this guy is numb in the head..

I'm a young Greek Cypriot who lives in North London. From growing up in a multicultural city, I realised in most cases I had more similarities with the Turkish/ Turkish cypriots than I did with the English. My one close group of friends is a mixture of Greeks and Turks and we all see eachother as brothers. Unfortunately there is huge history that cuts deep for the older generation. We have to respect and acknowledge their trauma and their past. On both parts, the Greeks and the Turks have made mistakes. At the end of the day, the most important thing is getting the best outcome for Cyprus. Politics and Religion is a huge factor that will further cause delays in any negotiations to be made. We need to build a group of modern day thinkers on both sides who can provide rewarding solutions to get Cyprus back in its glorious form. Who's with me?
Before I get hate from all the motherland greek cypriots, I love Cyprus with all my heart. I just want something to be resolved so that means negotiating with the North side.
Absolutely not. I am Greek an grow up in Germany. I had in the past many Turkish school mates and friends. Yes we have something in common, but in the end I realized everybody of them had a big nationalist and fascist side. They don‘t know nothing about the history and heritage just there propaganda history...
its too funny to see that both nations people believe that the other side is barbaric and cannot be trusted yet we are same..greetings from Greece and lets hope we have learnt from the past
This video really broke my heart, there is always a second side about the story I hope one day Turkish Cypriots and Cypriots live together peacefully like in the past
Samway Waysam Older Turkish Cypriots knows Greek little bit. After the division, they did not learn it. The common language would be English for new generations.
Capitan Barbosa yes, but it’s not that simple. They are Cypriots, for them their home is the whole island. The Turks were a minority who come centuries after the Greeks sent by the Ottomans. Even today, Turkey continues to send non-natives to the island. Obviously the Turks should be respected, but Cyprus is one and Greek.
Let's set aside the inter-communal violence by extremists and the arguments about who provoked these events. The fact remains that the minority in this country with the military help of an external power captured a disproportional big chunk of the island by forcing out of their homes the legal owners(80% of private property in the northern part of the island belongs to GCs), an illegal action already condemned by all international organisations. Also, an action which the GC side is, and understandably of course, not willing to forgive and forget. Now, this minority already benefited by a brutal occupation, sit on property and land taken illegally(always according to UN resolutions) and demand from the GCs to forget this pillage and from the international community to legitimise the plundering by recognising them as an independent authority. And to add insult to the injury, the minority of 18% (+ the illegal Turk settlers) demand, in case of reunification, beyond the political equality, special rights which are, at least, discriminatory, inequitable and one-sided for the rest of the population(the native ethnically Greek-Cypriots and the minorities the Cypriots Armenians, and Maronites). Since when a minority of 18 % can demand and to have rotating presidency ignoring this way the will of the majority. This becomes more wicked and obscene in the following scenario. The X candidate is elected as the next president of the country with 51% of the Tcs votes, meaning that the country will have a president chosen by only 9.5% of the whole electorate. Beyond this, the minority of 18%, demands 40% of all the positions in the security forces and civil service, and of all the seats in the parliament while they are still occupying illegally the 39% of the island sitting walled behind their pseudo-state. At the same time they, most of them, have acquired european travel documents and id cards of the Republic of Cyprus, the only recognised legal entity on the island. By the way, the EU owe nothing to the TCs and their pseudo-state. The GCs did all the work. They negotiated and implemented the huge body of EU rules by reforming their own system for decades. So all the EU membership perks come only through the official Republic of Cyprus and the efforts of the GCs. But yet again, if the TCs feel that their outrageous demands are reasonable, I invite them to read EU accession reports on how their so- called “motherland” and “protector” treats its minorities and more specifically the Kurds, who comprise the 30% of Turkey's population or the supposedly protected by international agreements Greek community of Istanbul who are in the verge of extinction after 3000 years of continuous presence. At the same time, the Muslim-Turkish community in Greece tripled its size and thrives, always under legal and political protection. Be reasonable and respect the rest of the Cypriots so they will respect you back or otherwise return your Cypriot documents, denounce all benefits from your status as european citizens and citizens of RoC and remain isolated from the rest of the world like a thief trapped in a well full of treasures.
Wow a lot of hate in the comments ,humanity has to educate itself more, and break out of the imaginary constructs of nations and religions. I mean , really , it has to.
@@doga9670 There are Armenian and Lebanese minorities on the island, but they have not taken a piece of Cyprus for themselves. You don't see large Armenian or Lebanese flags on the hills with some motto. Turks erected Ataturk statues all over so-called "TRNC". It's illegal in legitimate and internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus. That's why no one has recognized "TRNC" nor they will do it any time.
We accept Turkish Cypriots that lived in Cyprus before 1974 as fully fledged Cypriot citizens with full rights. But we don't accept Turk natives coming to the island illegally occupying houses,lands,businesses as their own for free. Our problem is with native Turks and Turkey that still after 44 years illegally occupy half the island and hinder the growth of the island economically, agriculturally and politically. We can NOT under any circumstance allow native Turks to become Cypriot citizen because they are 80 million we are 1 mil they will flood Cyprus and we will become a Muslim country in here. As long as Turkey continues like this there is No recognition,NO EU,NO oil,NO gas. There is an estimated 350 thousand Turkish natives there now and they breed like rabbits and another 80 million ready to jump ship. I don't see a solution to the problem all we could do is start again from zero and rebuild all we have lost.
U are right, I live in the turkish side of Cyprus and As I was listening this interview I could distinguish who was a native turkish from turkey by their accent and all the people that were saying no I don’t trust the other side was native turkish people from turkey, the ones that wanted to Unite and trust the other side was cypriots, we meed to unite and save our country, on this side there are not that much cypriots anymore it’s just turkish people, everyone is literally moving out of the country to generally England or other places, turkish people are murdering us, the amount of murders in our country raised since people from turkey started to come in our country and live here, its not safe anymore, We can’t even go out at night without the fear of getting raped or kidnapped by native turkish people, I m not telling all of this because half of my family is from the greek side and stuff, I m telling this because we ACTUALLY need too save each other, the only thing that differs us from each other is the language we speak, we are all equal, all the politicians are just trying to get what they want I think as citizens of both sides we need to gather up and stand up for each other and this issue, we need to do something before it’s too late that we both lose each of the sides to turkey and Greece, I don’t think that we need to be a part of turkey or Greece, we just need to be cyprus, we don’t need them
Dude you're totally wrong. You cannot deny that Greeks tortured to island people. Nobody's came from Turkey, there was already too many Turks who live in Cyprus for a long long time. Have you ever thought about why Turkish army interfered to island? Dont be a fucking dumb. I'm not a patriotic person and i hate nationalism but peoples must be objective when pass an opinion on serious subjects. No fucking one lives there as an illegal. Why dont you think peoples live in peace and together? I really hate "cheap" nationalism as turks and greeks do all the time. Use your brains guys
You can hear the difference between turkish cypriot accent and turkish accent from talking. Some of them (especially the ones who doesnt trust greek cypriots) are not turkish cypriots. They are just Turks from turkey.
This second Turkish Cypriot woman saying Greek side not making any concessions.Not saying what Turkish side wants Wondering if she knows if she living in a stolen Greek Cypriot house ?Heard the same thing many times, GCs have no problems with TCs just the settlers
BS. The Annan plan was unbalanced due to last minute inclusion of 11 Turkish 'derogations'. Kofi Annan was told by the Cypriots not to put them in the plan, he acquiessed to Turkey and scuppered the deal. He was a weak man, unfortunately.
Annan plan was garbage written by a fool. EU, UK, and US puppet masters who didnt give a flying fuck about Cypriots wanting Turkey to be in the EU (in those days) more than they cared about peace. Glad it failed and now Turkey will never join EU. Worked out well
Most of the people look Greek because they are descendants of Greeks converted to Islam. Especially this woman who is upset with Greeks i am 100% sure she is Greek herself.
This is the image you have created after all. Be proud of your facisim and hatred you created until now. No one believes in you. This trust has been gone almost 65 years ahead from the first bloody events occured after 60s . There are more than 50 countries in the world who does not even have 65 years of existance. We have a saying: A lot of water has flowed beneath the bridge.. No more unity but peaceful 2 nations neighbour to eachother with 2 states solution. Like Czechs and Slovakians or Serbs and Croations so forth...
Personally, seeing the things from the Greek side, honestly, any kind of talks will fail as long as TRNC stands as a separate entity and a puppet of Turkey. Honestly, I don't think that the younger generations of Cypriots (north or south) wish to still be divided, but in all honesty, I don't see an agreement coming from the Greek side, as long as Turkey keeps troops on the island and it actively or passively tries to impose control over it.
Lol of course the Turkish side wouldn't want to be treated as a second class citizen when they unite with the republic of Cyprus and worse if greek Cypriot wants to again join Greece. We can see how Greece treat their Muslim citizens. Not a single official prayer buildings in that country. So of course the Turkic Cypriot will never agree on compromise or they will see another ethnic cleansing or forced to flee as refugees.
Fun fact: in 1974 when the Turks illegally occupied the North side of Cyprus many people were murdered and raped and forced out of their homes. So the old man speaking at 1:25 is basically speaking about what they did to the Greek Cypriots. I am not able to live in my father’s home because of the invasion and Turks living inside it.

The free side offered an agreement with the condition turkey withdraws its military from Cyprus, to which turkey declined. That is why the free part of Cyprus declined any agreement till of today.
@Sena Sarı There are so many enemies, if you cant see that then you are a dreamer. I wish we can all be friends someday, that is a wish but it doesnt change the facts of today.
Turkish Cypriots ALSO have the right to live in Cyprus. Turkey sent its troops into Cyprus AFTER the Greek Cypriots overthrew an elected government with the help of the junta in Athens. Therefore, the Turkish invasion did NOT happen in a vacuum but occurred AFTER the Greek Cypriots overthrew their own government and attacked their Turkish minority. Turkey probably would not even have been in Cyprus if the Greek Cypriots had not attacked and endangered the Turkish Cypriots. The historical background of the division must be understood.
The most realistic one seems to be the lady at 0.35 summarising what has happened in past and what will likely happen in future at 3.00. Young generation seems to be living in their bubbly world not much knowledge let alone depthness in their speech.
Thanks to people like you the British empire won against the Cyprus and it's people. Keep pumping your bigoted chest and keep on Helping the British government.
Turkish army has over 30 million people and is 8th strongest in the world. Greek Cypriot army has 50,000 people, you don't need to trust the Greek side. Turkey could easily wipe out Greek Cypriots like they did to Armenians. It's the Greek side who need to be worried, not the Turks.

Some Cypriot Turkish are too naive. People will understant each other ? The people should have empathy for peace ? Reality is the gap between the South and the North will increase every years because one of them is not even recognized like a country while the other is UE's member.....that will push Cypriot Greek to have greater demand every years while Turkish Cypriot while have less and less option. Another reality is Turkey will not continue to give them free electricity, water, pay check to their civil servant....for ever. One day Turkey will say enough, annex the North, and sell the beach to compagny to attire tourist.
It’s rather telling isn’t it… a detail perhaps lost on my Greek Cypriots cousins watching this video… the majority of Turkish-speakers interviewed that says they do trust Greek Cypriots have Turkish Cypriots accents, yet almost all the Turkish-speakers urging caution and saying they don’t trust Greek Cypriots are speaking with mainland Turkey accents. So many Turks from Turkey have been settled in Northern Cyprus now, the poor Turkish Cypriots are loosing their voice.

Μαριος Κωνσταντινου The thing is this entire chain of events started with an attempted COUP by the Greek right wing military junta.

They acted quickly and decisively and the Greeks have never been able to live down the stupid decision of their fascist government.

I think those who dont trust Greeks (you can hear the accent) are Turkish, not Cypriots. Nonetheless, I strongly believe that we can harmoniously live together, Cypriots have never been the problem, England and Turkey has
It was wrong to ask this question to Turks that live in the North part of Cyprus. This is a topic which is related about the trust between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. So, Turks have no right to say a single word about trusting Greek Cypriots. Cypriots will provide peace not Turks or Greeks!
It is such a shame, religion is all that divides the Cypriots, not blood. The Turks brought over from the mainland are another matter. It is too later for Turkey to ever stop interfering in Cyprus now, it is too strategically important for them. This will make reunion impossible. The North belongs to Turkey de FACTO, whether we like it or not.
Yeah, given the natural resources found in the sea, the island is much more important. And sadly its always Greece vs Turkey while it should be a matter of Cyprus and Cypriots. A successful unification would be a good example for upcoming Turkish - Greece peace too.
The problem is and has always been the Greek, Turkish - and let's not forget, the British - governments. Cypriots would get along with each other just fine if foreign governments weren't involved. Plain and simple when you ask the Cypriots.
Ottoman Turks managed balkans, anatolia, middle east and northern africa during 621 years. All places out of turkey lived under turkish managment during minimum 4 centuries and maximum 6 centuries. Ottoman empiror was the only super power of the world in 4 centuries of those 6 centuries. If Ottoman Turks have tried to kill all of the minor groups or changed their cultures, no one could have prevented the Turks. Justice is very important for turks, so they could set up very strong and long live empirors as selchuk, ottoman, great hun, europian hun, gokturk empirors etc. One more points, Turks never attack or kill innocent people, women and children. This is one of Turks' basic traditions. At present, there are still asurrians, greeks, romans, georgians, jews and armenians in Turkey. The most of armenians were sent away from turkey in ottoman time, because they did the same things as greek cypriots aganst turkish cypriots did in cyprus before 1974: killing innocent turks. FINALLY, TURKS ARE GREAT NATION WHICH CAN NEVER BE UNDERSTOOD BY SIMPLE PEOPLE.
@@cookie_roxy_ Because Greeks were attacking Turks in Cyprus and a coup has happened for unification with Greece , that was unacceptable so Turkey involved.

2:56 yeah, right.... Northern Cyprus will be freed soon by the Greek-cypriot army with the help of the Greek and Israeli army but even if it remains occupied for 100 years it will never be recognised as a country. How can an occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus which is a European state and a member of the United Nations ever be recognised as a nation. Turks have to get serious. They live illegally in Cyprus . They should head back to Turkey, take their army with them and give us our land back.
@@veve4517 we stood and fight in the invaision and we'll stand and fight again we had 2000 soldiers you had 40000 and we still kept larnaca nicosia held lapithos and ayios ermalaos from the turks for 2 or 3 or 4 days if we ran like moeses turkey will have protaras and ayia napa the whole famagusta district but they don't they never came to paphos neither Anyway cyprus will never be turkish ever the closest it was to being turkish was during the ottoman empire last time I checked there long gone dead under ground that we walk on every day cyprus will etier be united or stay how it is but the north will never be reconised and it will never become turkey the sooner turkey relise this and go back to turkey the sooner both sides can live in peace and go back to there land
i dont understand what you expect.i am on the side that wants reunification but you cannot expect go get 50%- 50 % .you ARE a minority fortunately or unfortunately.you have 18 % of the population and you are a minority in your own part.if we had the same statistics of greeks here we would have at least 900.000 greeks here,and we have 20.000 over 900.000 population on the south part.i respect you but you cannot demand this.equality is not always the right thing.sorry for breaking the statistics down for you.there are 11 % turks in germany ,and 18 % turkish cypriots in cyprus.i didnt see any turks there demand 30 % of the country to become self proclaimed turkish republic of germany.
Well it doesnt go with % , we are minority and you killed us and wanted to have%100. We dont want to see the same movie again so 50-50 or no deal. Oh sorry you said no to unification so its over.
@Dim Man yeah ? so didnt greek cypriots start killing Turks first ? didnt greek cypriots made a coup and tried to unite with Greece ? if you ask for trouble , trouble will find you ! we have a saying in Turkish ! if you look to be itch someone will itch you ! '
@Dim Man My friend you mentioned a lot of things i tought we were talking about cyprus now its too many stuff and its going to take a lot of time anyways. First of all im not an Erdoğan supporter i never voted for him and i never will , im an atheist. About Cyprus iy was the Greek Cypriots who attacked and killed many Turkish Cypriots. They wanted Enosis but ofcourse you know all about this. These killings went on for many years, Turkey wanted to intervene but was stopped by the US in 1964 . But at the end killings and enosis dreams went on Makarios was taken down so Turkey made the operation. My point in this matter is ; Greeks wanted the whole island and the wanted to unite the island with Greece, they were eager but they lost north part instead their eagerness.. Then years later Erdoğan made a huge mistake and suppoerted the Annan plan , made a lot campains in the island and the Turks voted yes but thanks to the Greeks they voted no . About the events in 1955 you are totally right, it was the governments fault they gave such statements so Turkish public attacked Greeks in Istanbul. It is a shame for us Turks and im very sorry about that. About the events right after the war i dont agree with you , Greek army invaded our motherland and made a lot of brutality killing and rapings so in was a revenge for all those it is so normal. what was the greek army doing there in the first place? This is where i dont agree with you, ofcourse Greece want to take Izmir ofcourse greece wants to take Istanbul and they will always want that, maybe you dont want that but i know so many Greeks who whats that so much. About the the arming the islands, there was an agreement signed between us you cant arm those islands, thats how we agreed and gave them away and you are breaking the rule, do you really believe those arms will protect those islands if Turkey wants to invade them? You are just giving us a reason just like you did in Cyprus.
@Dim Man My friend i will never insult anybody unless im being insulted. Besides i really love Greeks. I dont know if you have watched survivor Greece -Turkey, ı supported Greek team because they were much better personalities then our guys.
What they said also applies to the Greek Cypriots. What they did in Cyprus they did to them. They are probably even more angry because they came in and took their country. It's not easy. but different then and different now
when turkey invaded they sent loads of main land Turkish to live in the north, turkey told them to live their and gave them houses and land for free, gave them hotels and villas which belonged to greek families. ALL original Turkish Cypriots want to rejoin with the Greek Cypriots!!!!!!!! going back to my earlier point, when turkey sent main land turkish people to the north, they said to them "to live there and take houses and land and all the business............hahaha the problem they had was, how does a non educated, peasant mainland Turk run a hotel?????????????????? what can he do with it??? to rejoin, all the land and houses to have to go back to its original owners , it's like Israel and Palestine, if palistine got its land back then I'm sure every Turkish would say "it is only right for the first owners to get their land back which was stolen" so, if the Turkish are true to their morals and are not munaafik then they should have no problem giving stolen land back!!! I'm a Greek Cypriots Muslim all stolen land is not legally recognized by man's law or by god!!!! in conclusion, only main land Turks don't want Cyprus to unify again, Turkish Cypriots do want to rejoin !!
You asked this question to Cypriots and People from Turkey as well one Turkish commenting that they look at people badly and damage cars, this guy has never even crossed in his life what is he talking about please ask it to Cypriots you can even see it from their faces that they are Turkish
Ok this is over the top we were occupied for 400 years and then some of them say that we tortured you guys even tho kids were taken away from there families and forcibly turned Turkish ok this dispute really needs to endbut it is nice to hear that people do trust us and see us as human beings just like them
Because Greeks were going to Christian Schools,noone forced them for anything,Turks took less tax from greeks than their own nation,and what Turkish Cypriots has been through over the years was unhuman.

@Anninos Christoforou Shame on those idiots! To those stupid narrow minded, the world is just revolve around their FUCKING GOD🤣🤣🤣 Shame on us human beings!!!
Why you cant trust them? They couldnt trust you! But they did! And now Cyprus is divided! Because of you, Cypriots lost their home, their family and a big number of them died.
@KARA NÖKER Linguistic? To some extent for sure, but since the British were there , both, are capable of English. But the religious division, doesn't happen only in Cyprus. In a lot conservative societies you can observe this phenomenon especially orthodox christian and muslim societies.
@KARA NÖKER Well, it may be your personal opinion but Turkish people voted for an Islamistic government the last 20 years which is, to say the least ,conservative, which coalited with the far right party. So either the elections are being manipulated or Turkish people are in their majority not very liberal. Greeks are conservative, but they voted for a left government, i mean , this says a lot, while in turkey there is literally no no-nationalistic party except for the HDP, which is prosecuted by the way. Now I am sure there are millions of people who are not conservative, who are liberal and modern, like e.g. the people of the Gezi protests, but unfortunately its not a majority yet. In Cyprus folks are for sure more liberal than in Turkey but not as much as in western societies because if so there would be a cultural integration, the only thing withholding it, is the religion, in my opinion.
@KARA NÖKER Well I think you are kind of biased but lets hope you are right and it will show at some point in the elections. Because putting teachers, scientists, academics, journalists, leftists in prison is for sure not a free democracy but rather a conservative religious dictatorship. Ah not to forget the denunciation. If Islamism and Fashism is the least worst then its worse than I even thought. Its a pity.
@KARA NÖKER Is there any objective Media left in Turkey of which you can inform? I am really sad to see that even you are so propagated. You should inform yourself from international media. Ah of course, and the thousands of murders on Lgbt people are probably also liberal. Well at least you say you dont support Democracy, now we understand the mentality of Turkish people. www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/world/europe/turkey-erdogan-nasa-scientist-golge.html www.ibtimes.co.uk/erdogans-war-education-exodus-turkeys-teachers-1656930 www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-security-media/more-than-120-journalists-still-jailed-in-turkey-international-press-institute-idUSKBN1XT26T

the older generation are so primitive they still think we are living in the old days, i think the new generation will make a positive change, people are people and there are good and bad everywhere. This is why the world is fucked up, divide and conquer, its absolute bullshit, greeks fighting with turks, israelis fighting arabs, indians fighting with pakistanis, bangalis fighting with indians, its all to divide and conquer we should unite and accept and appeciate eachother and learn about our cultures, if we wernt always out to see whos the enemy and just choose to accept one another the world would flourish
The problem isn't a Cypriot one...The problem is Turkey wants Cyprus but they'll never get it...this is the problem and it isn't a secret...ask the EU...juss sayin
The thing is unbiasedly turkey gives us (north cyprus) money and helps our government for so many things.North cant survive without Turkey at least for now.As historically cyprus was a beautifull and peacefull compound country and i beleive it was Britain s fault
The solution is this, first, all Turks from Turkey must go back to Turkey, second, all Turkish Cypriots from Cyprus can either join there brothers and go to Turkey or, they can be baptized in to the Orthodox faith, change there names to Christian names , speak greek and we all can live like real brothers.
As a greek cypriot i feel slightly offended 😂 everything is in the past. Its the now, you hear all this and that about each side but everything is over and people are still hateful
Ahahahah In fact, there are many people in the north of Cyprus who want federal unification. We want an equal, federal Cyprus, where we will not be killed, especially as young people🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾🕊️🕊️🕊️

What a load of bollocks.Get your facts right first before you show what people are saying. You do not expect to bargain with a country that was meant to guarantee you. Instead it invaded took 38% of the country it was supposed to look after. That is where you should have started your report from.The woman says 100,000 want to come back to the north side.ITS THEIR LAND MADAM. Who are you to deny them that. You are 18% of that island yet you think you own the lot.You dont.Bringing over 200,000 Turks to change the demographics is a war crime.In the end the legal entity is the ROC and the Turks no0w in the north are not recognized as a nation and their northside is not recognized either.Look at what is legal and recognized before you go round asking common thieves what their opinion is.
Greeks are native to those lands you are not go back to Anatolia, it is enough you have taken anatolia, Kurdistan the three seas of Armenia, Van, Cilicia, caucasian albania and countless of innocent souls but you are not gonna take anything anymore, Hayastan is with you Kýpros See you in Yerevan this fall together with Greece for a meeting♥️
My 90 year old father and 83 year old mother are Cypriot Turks and even though they lived through and survived the Turkish/Greek wars, they never taught me to hate Greeks. Dad said atrocities were committed by both sides and he refused to condemn an entire nation for the actions of a minority. Dad’s best friend is Greek, he speaks the language and respects the people. If only all Turks and Greeks could think the same way.

@@jjackuusanUhm, from when Greeks and Turks were ethnically close. Turks are Turkic people who origintae from Central Asia dn Greeks are Indo Eurooean people who belong to Greece.
I am Nigerian and have absolutely no right to this discussion, but you can see differences between two different Generation, the younger generation really wants nothing but peace and because most of them did not see the war, they don't want to live on what the older generations told them, they want to create their own future and not dwell on a fight they absolutely no nothing about aside what they were told in schools
Conclusion: Older generation is hostile, distrustful and still wears the painful scars of the past. However, younger generation tends to give more chance, ignores the ethnic issue and looks forward towards improving relations. That is true for both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. And that gives hope that in future a restoration of an unified Cyprus could be achieved.

Because they were involved
True that. it was all a plan actually, theres a youtube video laying around spilling all the beans about how the british was planning to cause this divide between us since the 50's
Its nationalism
Both sides done it but nobody cares
This argument always happen in 1820s or 1920s.
Both Greeks and Turks cry over how they lost 10000 million in fake events.
exactly
Brits makes a mess of everything like the French.
That was so true.In my history class in north side they showed us pictures of dead people that were burried alive and things like that.There are two sides in this story. Cyprus history has to contain both.
here in cyprus they have our half country and they say that we did bad things to them. Thank you for all the Turkish people who trust us because we all are humans and we all make mistakes Greece made mistakes Cyprus did and Turkey did.
"From we've heard from our soldiers"? .The second Turk says Rapes,Murder etc. " "'from what he hears"?does he know any of this firsthand? is it all hearsay?
Boy
Second guy has an Eastern Anatolian accent. So he is probably came to Cyprus after Turkish state tried to boost the "Turkish" population of Cyprus. Remind you that, "Turkish" Cypriots are just Muslim Greeks. Cypriots share the same gene pool.
That's not your island , %30 of population is Turkish and %29 of lands in Turkish control.

I am from the other side of Europe and have nothing to do with the Cyprus issue, but there are things where I dont understand: If the turks are just 20% of the island population, how the hell do they expect to have a rotating presidency when the greek christian population is 4 times their size? If you are a minority of 20% or so, why should you have equal political rights? The best you can expect is the same status as the ethnic hungarians in Voivodina, Serbia. You cannot expect equal political power or representation. At least there is hope: the young people just want to drink beer together.
Just some statistics about this video:
5/7 of people who said "No" were Turkish (from Turkey), not Turkish Cypriot.
A total of 5 Turkish people were asked about opinions, all of whom said "No".
5/7 of Turkish Cypriots said "Yes".
This video doesn't provide a reliable "public opinion" of Turkish Cypriots.
That may be true, but note for instance that the gentleman at the end (who says that "Turkey will never leave Cyprus") told us that he's been here since the 1980s - meaning that he may well be eligible to vote in a referendum. Many Turks from Turkey are part of "public opinion" too.
Nevertheless CM, a turc is a turc even if he's here since the 1980's and whether he votes or not in a referendum his opinion on the greeks is irrelevant.
You are correct, Turks from turkey that LIVE in turkey , the majority of those people asked said NO. The same thing for mainland turks who live on Cyprus. There should be no deal. The status quo should be left alone.
LOl people which say no are general the old people which are Turkish Cypriot. The young too seam like Turkish Cypriot, they have all the accent, and they seam like more for peace than their elder.
then good lock 5/7 of cypriots with eoka..elders know the value of sacrifice..i hope youngers dont experience it again..
I think it's time that both Turkey and Greece kept out of Cypriot Affairs and let us talk freely for ourselves then I am sure a just solution will evolve.There will be hurdles but without outsiders interfering (for their own selfish objectives I may add) they can be overcome.
We have our own unique languages , customs and way of life which are not the same as mainland Greeks or Turks. Many Cypriot Turks are worried that they are being pushed aside with Turkeys policies.Not once have I seen any ethnic issues between us here in UK in fact quite the opposite.On my first visit to the North I was apprehensive but in reality we could not believe people were actually very welcoming it was like they realised the people in the south were not Aliens !
What worries me the most is the fact that Turkey is continuing to tighten it's grip and soon the Turkish Cypriot minority there will have no say (by minority I mean amongst the settlers)
I have deleted a lot more from comment because I have a tendency rant when a subject is so close to the heart . Just hope to see a viable and just solution in my life time Now that would be a PARTY . SEE Turkish Cypriot demo protesting Turkey's Cyprus Policy - 07.04.2011 Never seen demonstrators with such passion
The lady is complaining about the Greeks not being fair with the Turkish side. Seriously? The Turks illegally have control over 1/3 of Cyprus. You have no right to complain. Its not your land. Also the guy at 1:25 is wrong. You took over Greece for 400 years and you're complaining about us torturing you. Get off your high horse. I am not against Turks, but I am against that old mindset. I'm personally alright with Turks in Cyprus, but that's if the Turks give back Cyprus to the actual Cypriots so that the Turks get the equality they want and the Cypriots are happy having their country back.
Agree 100% the lady at 0.45 seconds is completely wrong... She states that "they (the Greeks)" "they are not giving anything"
Costa, as you mentioned, What more could the Greeks give, the Turks have illegally invade & have taken people’s homes , properties & have made 200K refuges in their own country. The Turks need to stop & think, whose home are they living in? Yes Cyprus is for all Cypriots. The fact that a small minority are holding the remaining island at ransoms is disgraceful.
Well as i have posted on other videos on Cyprus, Turkey should be ashamed of the actions & the way it has conducted themselves. The occupation is illegal, there is no justification for Turkey to remain ( as a military power or sudo state) in Cyprus.
Look at Varoshi ( varosha) for example , they stolen the properties, lands, homes & livelihood of the residence of Famagusta, and have allowed the hotels & homes to be looted, then abandoned , leaving them closed off from the rest of the Island for over 44 years to date.
If the Turks cared in any way about Cyprus , this should of been returned to the residence immediately after the ceasefire in 1974, not held captive 44 years later with no settlement insight.
Shame on Turkey, & shame on the International community for allowing this to occur & prolonging a settlement.....
Hi ArcticHawk. Interesting reply on a public forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the situation in Cyprus.
Hopefully with more people being made aware of the issue, a resolution may be sort.
Ken Nizam so if living in unity is what everyone wants, when can we return back to our homes?
I will go tell my mother to pack her bags, so she can go back to her house in Kythrea, because you said its ok!!!
I agree. He also said we raped and murdered some of their people. But when the war was happening in Cyprus they also raped wife's while their husband was forced to watch. And they raped their daughters too. Then they murdered the wife and daughter and hang the husband. So this guy is numb in the head..

Unfortunately there is huge history that cuts deep for the older generation. We have to respect and acknowledge their trauma and their past. On both parts, the Greeks and the Turks have made mistakes.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is getting the best outcome for Cyprus. Politics and Religion is a huge factor that will further cause delays in any negotiations to be made.
We need to build a group of modern day thinkers on both sides who can provide rewarding solutions to get Cyprus back in its glorious form.

What percentage of the population at the turkish side is from mainland Turkey (meaning not Turkish Cypriots)?
the "official" percentage is less than 50 percent. In reality the turkish cypriots are the minority in north cyprus compared to mainland turks.
GP189 Turkish cypriots re Turks so it can be 100% doesnt matter
It matters because Turkish Cypriots aren't religious fanatics and they can speak Greek language.
Samway Waysam No they cant lol
Samway Waysam Older Turkish Cypriots knows Greek little bit. After the division, they did not learn it. The common language would be English for new generations.
How come an Independent is legitimate for a few hundred Turks in Cyprus, but it's not legitimate for 75 million Kurds in the middle East?
0:47 because you invaded their land and expelled them! It’s obvious they want to come back to their properties!
Avante Lvsitania Rip
Capitan Barbosa they were expelled indeed. And if they wanted to stay, they would face persecution or even death, in their own land.
Capitan Barbosa they were in their right. Cyprus was, and still is, a Greek region. It makes all sense they wanted to join Hellas.
Capitan Barbosa yes, but it’s not that simple. They are Cypriots, for them their home is the whole island. The Turks were a minority who come centuries after the Greeks sent by the Ottomans. Even today, Turkey continues to send non-natives to the island. Obviously the Turks should be respected, but Cyprus is one and Greek.
@@avantelvsitania3359 No, the Turkish Cypriots are Islamified Cypriots they didn't come from Anatolia.
Let's set aside the inter-communal violence by extremists and the arguments about who provoked these events. The fact remains that the minority in this country with the military help of an external power captured a disproportional big chunk of the island by forcing out of their homes the legal owners(80% of private property in the northern part of the island belongs to GCs), an illegal action already condemned by all international organisations. Also, an action which the GC side is, and understandably of course, not willing to forgive and forget. Now, this minority already benefited by a brutal occupation, sit on property and land taken illegally(always according to UN resolutions) and demand from the GCs to forget this pillage and from the international community to legitimise the plundering by recognising them as an independent authority. And to add insult to the injury, the minority of 18% (+ the illegal Turk settlers) demand, in case of reunification, beyond the political equality, special rights which are, at least, discriminatory, inequitable and one-sided for the rest of the population(the native ethnically Greek-Cypriots and the minorities the Cypriots Armenians, and Maronites). Since when a minority of 18 % can demand and to have rotating presidency ignoring this way the will of the majority. This becomes more wicked and obscene in the following scenario. The X candidate is elected as the next president of the country with 51% of the Tcs votes, meaning that the country will have a president chosen by only 9.5% of the whole electorate. Beyond this, the minority of 18%, demands 40% of all the positions in the security forces and civil service, and of all the seats in the parliament while they are still occupying illegally the 39% of the island sitting walled behind their pseudo-state. At the same time they, most of them, have acquired european travel documents and id cards of the Republic of Cyprus, the only recognised legal entity on the island. By the way, the EU owe nothing to the TCs and their pseudo-state. The GCs did all the work. They negotiated and implemented the huge body of EU rules by reforming their own system for decades. So all the EU membership perks come only through the official Republic of Cyprus and the efforts of the GCs. But yet again, if the TCs feel that their outrageous demands are reasonable, I invite them to read EU accession reports on how their so- called “motherland” and “protector” treats its minorities and more specifically the Kurds, who comprise the 30% of Turkey's population or the supposedly protected by international agreements Greek community of Istanbul who are in the verge of extinction after 3000 years of continuous presence. At the same time, the Muslim-Turkish community in Greece tripled its size and thrives, always under legal and political protection. Be reasonable and respect the rest of the Cypriots so they will respect you back or otherwise return your Cypriot documents, denounce all benefits from your status as european citizens and citizens of RoC and remain isolated from the rest of the world like a thief trapped in a well full of treasures.
Very well detailed and accurate information, couldn't agree more

@@doga9670 There are Armenian and Lebanese minorities on the island, but they have not taken a piece of Cyprus for themselves.
You don't see large Armenian or Lebanese flags on the hills with some motto.
Turks erected Ataturk statues all over so-called "TRNC". It's illegal in legitimate and internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus. That's why no one has recognized "TRNC" nor they will do it any time.
We accept Turkish Cypriots that lived in Cyprus before 1974 as fully fledged Cypriot citizens with full rights. But we don't accept Turk natives coming to the island illegally occupying houses,lands,businesses as their own for free. Our problem is with native Turks and Turkey that still after 44 years illegally occupy half the island and hinder the growth of the island economically, agriculturally and politically. We can NOT under any circumstance allow native Turks to become Cypriot citizen because they are 80 million we are 1 mil they will flood Cyprus and we will become a Muslim country in here. As long as Turkey continues like this there is No recognition,NO EU,NO oil,NO gas. There is an estimated 350 thousand Turkish natives there now and they breed like rabbits and another 80 million ready to jump ship. I don't see a solution to the problem all we could do is start again from zero and rebuild all we have lost.
U are right, I live in the turkish side of Cyprus and As I was listening this interview I could distinguish who was a native turkish from turkey by their accent and all the people that were saying no I don’t trust the other side was native turkish people from turkey, the ones that wanted to Unite and trust the other side was cypriots, we meed to unite and save our country, on this side there are not that much cypriots anymore it’s just turkish people, everyone is literally moving out of the country to generally England or other places, turkish people are murdering us, the amount of murders in our country raised since people from turkey started to come in our country and live here, its not safe anymore, We can’t even go out at night without the fear of getting raped or kidnapped by native turkish people, I m not telling all of this because half of my family is from the greek side and stuff, I m telling this because we ACTUALLY need too save each other, the only thing that differs us from each other is the language we speak, we are all equal, all the politicians are just trying to get what they want I think as citizens of both sides we need to gather up and stand up for each other and this issue, we need to do something before it’s too late that we both lose each of the sides to turkey and Greece, I don’t think that we need to be a part of turkey or Greece, we just need to be cyprus, we don’t need them
I agree
Dude you're totally wrong. You cannot deny that Greeks tortured to island people. Nobody's came from Turkey, there was already too many Turks who live in Cyprus for a long long time. Have you ever thought about why Turkish army interfered to island? Dont be a fucking dumb. I'm not a patriotic person and i hate nationalism but peoples must be objective when pass an opinion on serious subjects. No fucking one lives there as an illegal.

You had no problems with TC then why did you kill them and caused the invasion ?
Greeks refused the Annan Plan therefore KKTC must be recognized..
BS. The Annan plan was unbalanced due to last minute inclusion of 11 Turkish 'derogations'. Kofi Annan was told by the Cypriots not to put them in the plan, he acquiessed to Turkey and scuppered the deal. He was a weak man, unfortunately.
Annan plan was garbage written by a fool. EU, UK, and US puppet masters who didnt give a flying fuck about Cypriots wanting Turkey to be in the EU (in those days) more than they cared about peace. Glad it failed and now Turkey will never join EU. Worked out well

"If we gave the Cypriots and greeks the whole cyprus, they won't accept"

This is the image you have created after all. Be proud of your facisim and hatred you created until now.
No one believes in you. This trust has been gone almost 65 years ahead from the first bloody events occured after 60s . There are more than 50 countries in the world who does not even have 65 years of existance. We have a saying: A lot of water has flowed beneath the bridge.. No more unity but peaceful 2 nations neighbour to eachother with 2 states solution. Like Czechs and Slovakians or Serbs and Croations so forth...
Personally, seeing the things from the Greek side, honestly, any kind of talks will fail as long as TRNC stands as a separate entity and a puppet of Turkey. Honestly, I don't think that the younger generations of Cypriots (north or south) wish to still be divided, but in all honesty, I don't see an agreement coming from the Greek side, as long as Turkey keeps troops on the island and it actively or passively tries to impose control over it.
Lol of course the Turkish side wouldn't want to be treated as a second class citizen when they unite with the republic of Cyprus and worse if greek Cypriot wants to again join Greece. We can see how Greece treat their Muslim citizens. Not a single official prayer buildings in that country. So of course the Turkic Cypriot will never agree on compromise or they will see another ethnic cleansing or forced to flee as refugees.

Turkish Cypriots ALSO have the right to live in Cyprus. Turkey sent its troops into Cyprus AFTER the Greek Cypriots overthrew an elected government with the help of the junta in Athens. Therefore, the Turkish invasion did NOT happen in a vacuum but occurred AFTER the Greek Cypriots overthrew their own government and attacked their Turkish minority. Turkey probably would not even have been in Cyprus if the Greek Cypriots had not attacked and endangered the Turkish Cypriots. The historical background of the division must be understood.

Another reality is Turkey will not continue to give them free electricity, water, pay check to their civil servant....for ever. One day Turkey will say enough, annex the North, and sell the beach to compagny to attire tourist.
It’s rather telling isn’t it… a detail perhaps lost on my Greek Cypriots cousins watching this video… the majority of Turkish-speakers interviewed that says they do trust Greek Cypriots have Turkish Cypriots accents, yet almost all the Turkish-speakers urging caution and saying they don’t trust Greek Cypriots are speaking with mainland Turkey accents. So many Turks from Turkey have been settled in Northern Cyprus now, the poor Turkish Cypriots are loosing their voice.

I think those who dont trust Greeks (you can hear the accent) are Turkish, not Cypriots. Nonetheless, I strongly believe that we can harmoniously live together, Cypriots have never been the problem, England and Turkey has
They are not Cypriots, they are Turks from Anatolia
It was wrong to ask this question to Turks that live in the North part of Cyprus. This is a topic which is related about the trust between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. So, Turks have no right to say a single word about trusting Greek Cypriots. Cypriots will provide peace not Turks or Greeks!
It is such a shame, religion is all that divides the Cypriots, not blood. The Turks brought over from the mainland are another matter. It is too later for Turkey to ever stop interfering in Cyprus now, it is too strategically important for them. This will make reunion impossible. The North belongs to Turkey de FACTO, whether we like it or not.
As a Turk i agree with you but you forgot to mention that it was the Greeks who refused unification.
Yeah, given the natural resources found in the sea, the island is much more important. And sadly its always Greece vs Turkey while it should be a matter of Cyprus and Cypriots. A successful unification would be a good example for upcoming Turkish - Greece peace too.
The problem is and has always been the Greek, Turkish - and let's not forget, the British - governments. Cypriots would get along with each other just fine if foreign governments weren't involved. Plain and simple when you ask the Cypriots.
Ottoman Turks managed balkans, anatolia, middle east and northern africa during 621 years. All places out of turkey lived under turkish managment during minimum 4 centuries and maximum 6 centuries. Ottoman empiror was the only super power of the world in 4 centuries of those 6 centuries. If Ottoman Turks have tried to kill all of the minor groups or changed their cultures, no one could have prevented the Turks. Justice is very important for turks, so they could set up very strong and long live empirors as selchuk, ottoman, great hun, europian hun, gokturk empirors etc. One more points, Turks never attack or kill innocent people, women and children. This is one of Turks' basic traditions. At present, there are still asurrians, greeks, romans, georgians, jews and armenians in Turkey. The most of armenians were sent away from turkey in ottoman time, because they did the same things as greek cypriots aganst turkish cypriots did in cyprus before 1974: killing innocent turks.

@Dim Man No, read and learn history !
@Dim Man My friend you mentioned a lot of things i tought we were talking about cyprus now its too many stuff and its going to take a lot of time anyways. First of all im not an Erdoğan supporter i never voted for him and i never will , im an atheist. About Cyprus iy was the Greek Cypriots who attacked and killed many Turkish Cypriots. They wanted Enosis but ofcourse you know all about this. These killings went on for many years, Turkey wanted to intervene but was stopped by the US in 1964 . But at the end killings and enosis dreams went on Makarios was taken down so Turkey made the operation. My point in this matter is ; Greeks wanted the whole island and the wanted to unite the island with Greece, they were eager but they lost north part instead their eagerness.. Then years later Erdoğan made a huge mistake and suppoerted the Annan plan , made a lot campains in the island and the Turks voted yes but thanks to the Greeks they voted no . About the events in 1955 you are totally right, it was the governments fault they gave such statements so Turkish public attacked Greeks in Istanbul. It is a shame for us Turks and im very sorry about that. About the events right after the war i dont agree with you , Greek army invaded our motherland and made a lot of brutality killing and rapings so in was a revenge for all those it is so normal. what was the greek army doing there in the first place? This is where i dont agree with you, ofcourse Greece want to take Izmir ofcourse greece wants to take Istanbul and they will always want that, maybe you dont want that but i know so many Greeks who whats that so much. About the the arming the islands, there was an agreement signed between us you cant arm those islands, thats how we agreed and gave them away and you are breaking the rule, do you really believe those arms will protect those islands if Turkey wants to invade them? You are just giving us a reason just like you did in Cyprus.
@Dim Man My friend i will never insult anybody unless im being insulted. Besides i really love Greeks. I dont know if you have watched survivor Greece -Turkey, ı supported Greek team because they were much better personalities then our guys.
What they said also applies to the Greek Cypriots.
What they did in Cyprus they did to them.
They are probably even more angry because they came in and took their country. It's not easy.
but different then and different now
when turkey invaded they sent loads of main land Turkish to live in the north, turkey told them to live their and gave them houses and land for free, gave them hotels and villas which belonged to greek families. ALL original Turkish Cypriots want to rejoin with the Greek Cypriots!!!!!!!!
going back to my earlier point, when turkey sent main land turkish people to the north, they said to them "to live there and take houses and land and all the business............hahaha the problem they had was, how does a non educated, peasant mainland Turk run a hotel?????????????????? what can he do with it???
to rejoin, all the land and houses to have to go back to its original owners , it's like Israel and Palestine, if palistine got its land back then I'm sure every Turkish would say "it is only right for the first owners to get their land back which was stolen" so, if the Turkish are true to their morals and are not munaafik then they should have no problem giving stolen land back!!!
I'm a Greek Cypriots Muslim all stolen land is not legally recognized by man's law or by god!!!!
in conclusion, only main land Turks don't want Cyprus to unify again, Turkish Cypriots do want to rejoin !!
İsrael do something everyone silent about it. So shut up
Yeah but Greeks didnt want to unify remember ? So it is over they will never unify.
@Izzy wtf is wrong with you? Native anatolians? OK then, go and find me a "Native anatolian" today and give his land back

Turkish guy: No, because when our cars go to the other side, they damage them.
hahahahahaha
What's funny about that? Hahahahaha!?
@@Sciencenerd2704 Both sides are greeks 😁
Don't go
@@LA-rk1ht Are you sure? And what do you mean by that? I mean how do you estimate a land is owned by a particular race? Who comes first then this land becomes their land? If yes then do you even know who came to Cyprus first? They are not Turkish but certainly they are not Greeks either
@Anninos Christoforou Shame on those idiots! To those stupid narrow minded, the world is just revolve around their FUCKING GOD🤣🤣🤣 Shame on us human beings!!!
Cyprus is greek
Why you cant trust them? They couldnt trust you! But they did! And now Cyprus is divided! Because of you, Cypriots lost their home, their family and a big number of them died.
at the end its a religious divide more than a cultural one, and this is ridiculous
@KARA NÖKER Linguistic? To some extent for sure, but since the British were there , both, are capable of English. But the religious division, doesn't happen only in Cyprus. In a lot conservative societies you can observe this phenomenon especially orthodox christian and muslim societies.
@KARA NÖKER Well, it may be your personal opinion but Turkish people voted for an Islamistic government the last 20 years which is, to say the least ,conservative, which coalited with the far right party. So either the elections are being manipulated or Turkish people are in their majority not very liberal. Greeks are conservative, but they voted for a left government, i mean , this says a lot, while in turkey there is literally no no-nationalistic party except for the HDP, which is prosecuted by the way. Now I am sure there are millions of people who are not conservative, who are liberal and modern, like e.g. the people of the Gezi protests, but unfortunately its not a majority yet. In Cyprus folks are for sure more liberal than in Turkey but not as much as in western societies because if so there would be a cultural integration, the only thing withholding it, is the religion, in my opinion.
@KARA NÖKER Well I think you are kind of biased but lets hope you are right and it will show at some point in the elections. Because putting teachers, scientists, academics, journalists, leftists in prison is for sure not a free democracy but rather a conservative religious dictatorship. Ah not to forget the denunciation. If Islamism and Fashism is the least worst then its worse than I even thought. Its a pity.
@KARA NÖKER Is there any objective Media left in Turkey of which you can inform? I am really sad to see that even you are so propagated. You should inform yourself from international media. Ah of course, and the thousands of murders on Lgbt people are probably also liberal. Well at least you say you dont support Democracy, now we understand the mentality of Turkish people.

the older generation are so primitive they still think we are living in the old days, i think the new generation will make a positive change, people are people and there are good and bad everywhere. This is why the world is fucked up, divide and conquer, its absolute bullshit, greeks fighting with turks, israelis fighting arabs, indians fighting with pakistanis, bangalis fighting with indians, its all to divide and conquer we should unite and accept and appeciate eachother and learn about our cultures, if we wernt always out to see whos the enemy and just choose to accept one another the world would flourish
Cyprus is Greek 🇬🇷🇨🇾
Funny. Dream.
The problem isn't a Cypriot one...The problem is Turkey wants Cyprus but they'll never get it...this is the problem and it isn't a secret...ask the EU...juss sayin
The thing is unbiasedly turkey gives us (north cyprus) money and helps our government for so many things.North cant survive without Turkey at least for now.As historically cyprus was a beautifull and peacefull compound country and i beleive it was Britain s fault
The solution is this, first, all Turks from Turkey must go back to Turkey, second, all Turkish Cypriots from Cyprus can either join there brothers and go to Turkey or, they can be baptized in to the Orthodox faith, change there names to Christian names , speak greek and we all can live like real brothers.
2:04 that lady really hate us.
@G.D. Koksal indeed but 97% of greek speaking cypriots are not eoka
And she is absolutely right. Greek Cypriots are insatiable people...
Those saying no are more than welcome to move back to Turkistan
Do you think we all move back to Africa? Original place of the humanity
As a greek cypriot i feel slightly offended 😂 everything is in the past. Its the now, you hear all this and that about each side but everything is over and people are still hateful
Ahahahah In fact, there are many people in the north of Cyprus who want federal unification. We want an equal, federal Cyprus, where we will not be killed, especially as young people🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾🕊️🕊️🕊️
At 1:25 i was like that's the opposite
Dark Boys It was done by both sides. Face it.
Did you hear bloody christmas?
Before said that, you should have searched Bloody Christmas.
@Fouk hustla turkish ≠ turkish cypriot most T cypriots are just greek cypriots who converted🤦🏻♀️ we used to live in peace instead of comparing we learn to accept our history and move on!
Iam mean cyprus...beacause the turks who living in cyprus dont have a regocnized state.
Please don’t trust us.
I wish there peace between both countries in a war nobody wins everyone in a war loses
Someone said that greeks at the past made a lot of torture to the turkish people....Turkish people also and dont forget turkish start the war:(They made a lot of torture to greeks and they also steal some places but bthw i love Turkey we are brothers
aleksandra hali Greeks started the war but we both suffered
What a load of bollocks.Get your facts right first before you show what people are saying. You do not expect to bargain with a country that was meant to guarantee you. Instead it invaded took 38% of the country it was supposed to look after. That is where you should have started your report from.The woman says 100,000 want to come back to the north side.ITS THEIR LAND MADAM. Who are you to deny them that. You are 18% of that island yet you think you own the lot.You dont.Bringing over 200,000 Turks to change the demographics is a war crime.In the end the legal entity is the ROC and the Turks no0w in the north are not recognized as a nation and their northside is not recognized either.Look at what is legal and recognized before you go round asking common thieves what their opinion is.
Greeks are native to those lands you are not go back to Anatolia, it is enough you have taken anatolia, Kurdistan the three seas of Armenia, Van, Cilicia, caucasian albania and countless of innocent souls but you are not gonna take anything anymore, Hayastan is with you Kýpros
See you in Yerevan this fall together with Greece for a meeting♥️
Lol Kurds claim your ancient land. They say so-called western Armenia is Kurdistan
