Just for your information, 2010 - 1974 = 36 , not "nearly 50" . In other words not even a generation has passed. Your "tousands" turn out to be 180 000 . And your "20 000 families" from Anatolia mean some 100 000 -120 000 Anatolian peasants outnumbering and putting great economic and social pressure upon some 80 000 remaining Turkish Cypriots who due to the Turkish misgovernment , corruption and abuse preferred rather to emigrate en masse from Northern Cyrprus. Between 1974-1995 every third Turkish Cypriot left the country (30%) . Interesting , isn't it ? The best stolen Greek land and wealth were wasted wasted so quickly and couldn't feed the parasitic Turkish Herrenrasse any longer !

Really ? Then why didn't the Turkish militarists invade Cyprus when Dean Acheson announced his plan of enosis of Cyprus with Greece early in 1964 ? Never heard of that plan which came from America , not Greece ? The Turkish lie machine failed to tell you that , didn't it ?
