The ultimate goal is still a Turk-free Cyprus.

Might as well go for a turk-free Turkey?

The ultimate goal for the Junta and the radicals was Enosis (reuniting with Greece). Makarios wasn't that interested in uniting with the Colonels' Junta.

Unlike Anatolia, Turks were never a majority or even plurality in Cyprus.

I know. Which is why Turkey should suffer heavenly fire for their actions.

The Republic of Cyprus is 95% Turkish.  77% 'Greek' Turkish and 18% pure Turkish.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Does "pure Turkish" include Mountain Turkish?

Sure.  I'm willing to give pan-Turkism a fling.  They'll probably end up occupied by Israel at the rate they're going anyways.
