Ich würde wirklich gerne die Gründe für den obigen Kommentar verstehen.
Wie viele Menschen glauben, dass TCs ihre Häuser und Ländereien im Jahr 64 in Enklaven (3 % der Insel) und nach 74 von Enklaven im Norden aufgegeben haben?
Aus irgendeinem Grund dieses Argument ergibt für mich keinen Sinn. Könnte mir bitte jemand erklären, warum das absolut Sinn macht?
Ich kann keinen signifikanten Unterschied erkennen im Gründe für GCs Verschiebung nach 1974 und TCs Verschiebung im Jahr 64 und nach 74.

Kind of an elementary question man – propaganda regarding the threat of violence, the real threat of violence after it was instigated by extremist and of course this thing called invasion.
Of course that’s armchair sociology and history you might want to pick up a book and try to figure it out on your own.
What my grandparents & other people their age tell me is that they were being treated as second class citizens by the police & authorities (though their greek cypriot neighbours were usually protective of them but they also couldnt do much against authorities with guns) but the country fell into chaos & the turkish stores were looted, their villages were cut off from the outside & the greek police & soldiers were not letting supplies get to the villages that they sieged. They were also afraid that if they went outside their village, they would „disappear“ like the lost busses that carried workers. My grandmother was a nurse at the larnaca state hospital and she told me that the greek doctors would refuse to touch the turkish patients and they wouldnt allow the administration of anesthesia when needed so she would have to steal some from the cabinet.
One thing is clear, the country couldn’t keep itself from falling into racism and both populations couldn’t control their bad apples from taking charge & sowing fear and chaos. In the end these bad apples‘ statues decorate the island on both sides but the innocent are the ones who suffered most.
Some GCs are really naïve enough to believe in this nonsense, and some are outright stupid to claim that.
People don’t just pack up and leave because a government, especially a government that doesn’t control that particular territory tells them to. Greeks in Istanbul didn’t decide to pack their 20kgs of luggage and 20 dollars on their wallet because Greece told them to come in 1964. They did it because they were forced to do it. Not the exact analogy but you get my point, it takes a lot for someone, especially a family to pack up and leave.
I would say [this](https://simerini.sigmalive.com/article/2022/12/25/59khrona-tourkantarsias-1963/) about sums it up with sources.
What you fail to understand is that the 1960s constitution was flawed. In order to please Turkey the Turkish Cypriots had Veto powers. Something the abused. Another issue that arised was that there were quotas for employment of Turkish Cypriots in government sector and national guard. Quotas that made hiring impractical and impossible.
The constitution was created to fail.
Whoever you want to believe, whether this was by design or Turkey taking advantage of it, the truth is simple.
The division of the island was already being agreed to and Turkey did give the order for Turkish Cypriots to create their own communities and split from Greek Cypriots as they wanted autonomy.
All these created an atmosphere of provocations and resistance which lead to an explosive mixture of growing negative sentiment on both sides.
A decade later Turkey used this as an excuse to invade, murder people, thousands became refugees and thousands missing and unaccounted for.
