3:49 Mount Olympus was named like that because ancient Greek Cypriots worshiped the Greek Gods. When the Achaean Greeks migrated to the island they brought their culture with them and named many places after their homeland. Cyprus was part of Ancient Greece.

its amazing and sad to see the Slavs pretending to be Greek. Propaganda is a very powerful tool even if the evidence are in front of you. Im glad that your country and most of the countries have historians that tell the truth

[@SIPEROTH]

It is. That is why the supposed current one is called North Macedonia. The reality is the land of North Macedonia(south Macedonia is in Greece) used to be part of the ancient Macedonia but the people currently living on it are Slavs that have nothing to do with the ancient Macedonians that where another Greek tribe from the ancient city states of ancient Greece. Of course after breaking from Yugoslavia this people needed something to feel good about themselves and their politicians suddenly decided to sell them the illusion that they are the descendants of Great Alexander with glorious past or something despite being slavs and use the fact that they live on ancient Macedonia land to call themselves Macedonia. What the Greeks hated about the whole thing was that this was clearly an attempt to hijack history and claim laurels that weren't theirs but unfortunately you can't do much about what one wants to call themselves.

[@fullahead8641]

Given we're a small community we do relatively ok but it's because Cyprus itself is small and before 1960 was very poor so we had no choice but to emigrate and work hard.

I haven't been to the 'other side' simply because the idea of having to give my passport and pass security or whatever to visit my own country just makes me sick plus its not the same place, for example my mom`s house, before the invasion, became an outpost. And no we do not copy Greece, Greece is a homeland to us all as well, and we are proud to be called Greek-Cypriots, we share so much more than just 'copied names'. As for our dialect a lot of the words are very similar to Greek, many have origins from Ancient Greek and the rest from other languages due to the many occupiers we had through time. Appreciate the effort but some matters just mean too much and deserve more respect. Peace.

[@atruv2089]

My Grandparents and parents are also refugees from the war and also lost their homes and never got them and their stuff back. But yet, unlike you, we don't hate Greek Cypriots, and even go to South sometimes. Why? Because past is past. And you need to learn to forget it and forgive. Peace.

[@maria97apoel]

I never said I don't go to the other side because I hate the people living there, most of them are innocent. But I will admit I feel hatred towards everybody that has the power to change things and does not or those that did it on purpose. And no the loss of so many people and ruining so many lives is not something to forget. The matter is just too delicate to discuss over some comments in youtube, I just wanted to let all those that don't realise what happened and even think its okay to crack a joke that its not okay and it needs respect if not for the situation today for the many lives lost or ruined then. Respect your opinion tho.

[@atruv2089]

Maria M I respect your opinion aswell. And yea, even though I managed to get over all the lives lost, it's not something that can be just forgotten. And yes, I also hate people who don't do good things when they have the power to do it.

kostas poko the ottomans found cyprus before the greeks. In WW1 the ottomans gave it to the british empire to save it and give it back at the end of the War but they gave it to the greeks. The ottomans lost cyprus because of the british empire and there lived so many ottomans/turks. In the 70s turkey went to cyprus and took the northern side to protect the turks. For me greeks and turks should be normal to each other.

Cyprus was placed under the UK's administration based on the Cyprus Convention in 1878 and was formally annexed by the UK in 1914. The future of the island became a matter of disagreement between the two prominent ethnic communities, Greek Cypriots, who made up 77% of the population in 1960, and Turkish Cypriots, who made up 18% of the population. From the 19th century onwards, the Greek Cypriot population pursued enosis, union with Greece, which became a Greek national policy in the 1950s

But they are the 20% of the population of cyprus they are minority! Second, they are a lot of turkish-cypriot villages in south cyprus that not only they have greek names but also they have names from christian orthodox saints such as ''agios(saint) ioannis'' in limassol, ''agios xariton'' in paphos, ''Agios(saint) theodoros'' in larnaca and a lot of them ( you can do your own research).

Dude, Amazing Job! You must have put a lot of effort into this since most of Cyprus is not well documented. One thing to note is that when abroad, Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriots are actually hanging out together. They are basically the same people. the buffer zone is a political divide. Anytime you want to drop by, just let us know and we will take care of you:)

[@SIPEROTH]

They are because Turkish Cypriots aren't really Turks anyway. They are Cypriots that during Turkish occupation years of Cyprus became Muslims and took up the Turkish language. Actually the first to call them Turkish Cypriots wasn't even Turkey but the British.

[@adrva345]

@@SIPEROTH like the majority of Turkey's population. Most Turks have less than 10% central Asian DNA. Turks have barely anything to do with let's say Uzbeks or Uygurs from China. The modern Turkish ethnic identity has been formed in the last couple of centuries. Turkish people are Anatolian/Balkan people who are Muslims and who speak Turkish. So either anyone who claims to be a Turk is a Turk or no one counts as a Turk. They're kind of like Americans

Cyprus is amazing! I went there on holiday and loved it, so much history it's unreal and truly fascinating. Also got to go through that UN buffer zone, which was interesting! Hopefully both the North and South will unite. I'm sure they'll find a solution soon! Much love from the UK 🇬🇧🇨🇾

When you realize both sides were wrong but turkey is the only one violating the geneva convention to this very day.
