   This article is fraught with errors, probably because it was written by people who were not alive when this started.

   Honestly the context section is so off that I genuinely think this video should be remade, people will use this video as a source which could create genuine issues as any (m/d)isinformation does. The current population division can be attributed to what could be varyingly described as voluntary migration/population exchange/a refugee crisis/ethnic cleansing in response to the turkish invasion following ethnic-greek unification proposals.

   Greek ‘guerilla’ vs illegal turkish occupation ? Just be clear honnest please. The Greek people started a genocide in the island on turkish people. Turkey used it’s legal rights as guarantor and an intervention took place after multiple failed peacetalks.

   So why does Erdogan have a say in this? If he recognises TRNC as an independent nation, shouldn't it be treated that way? This to me feels like Flanders sends the Netherlands to every negotiation with Wallonia.

    No background on WHY the Turkish republic "invaded" the island on 1974, is disappointing. 1 out of 100 TLDR videos I watched, I see such lack of objectivity, and it hurts a little bit. So folks, look at history of what happened pre 1974, the massacres against Turkish populations was nasty.

    Guys, you should seriously consider removing this video. It is so factually incorrect it is embarrassing, and will allow people to doubt the accuracy of your news channel….as well as doubting your ability to comment on the issue being discussed given that you show a complete lack of understanding or knowledge about how the situation developed.

    This video was very poorly researched. It is interspersed with factual errors and overflowing with anti-Turkish/pro-Greek bias. The conclusion that Turkey might possibly agree to an EU request to kickstart a new round of Cyprus negotiations is unreasonable. A negotiated settlement has already been attempted, for the last time, in the form of the Annan Plan and the Greeks rejected it out of hand. The Turkish side had agreed to the Annan Plan only because the assumption that Turkey and Greece were going to share a common geography and common destiny inside Western clubs was still prevalent in Turkey. However, the EU has since discriminated against Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots and has thus made it clear that Turkey and Greece are not going to be sharing anything. As it is, the EU stands with Greece, against Turkey. Not an ideal position to facilitate peace talks.

    In addition to the other comments, another useful suggestion would be to display the ethnic map of Cyprus at the time would be helpful too, the sheer scale of displacement of turks and greeks when there became a north-south divide is extraordinary.

    Fake news! Occupation wasn't illegal. Turkey was one of the guarantors of the island. And when Greeks started slaughtering Turks on the island. Turkey rightfully occupied the Turkish area to save the Turkish population.

    You forgot to mention the demographic elephant in the room: The settlers. In the occupied zone, the settler population is currently believed to outnumber the locals. This is quite significant for an EU member state.

    The settlers and their children are NOT Cypriots. They are ineligible for Cypriot citizenship (and hence EU citizenship), because their presence on the island is a violation of the Geneva Convention. Only the pre-occupation population and their direct descendants are eligible for Cypriot (and EU) citizenship. The rest are foreigners.

    Having a fake citizenship in the puppet state created by Turkey in the occupied zone is completely null and void, neither the UN nor the EU recognizes such fake citizenships. Anyone wishing to obtain citizenship in Cyprus will need to apply in the normal way, like in any other country.

    I was assuming this was going to be about the recent leaks regarding Cyprus facilitating money laundering, tax evasion, and sanctions dodging.
    Was that related to one particular side of the island, or is the whole place corrupt?

    A non european country occupying an European one is unacceptable, but luckily this will prevent any reapproachment with the EU, Turkey has to be relegated to the middle east.

    There are plenty of mistakes in the context section. As a Turkish Cypriot myself we hope that one day we can all live together peacefully with our Greek conterpart as we did ages ago.

    However I feel like the context section is a little bit biased, first thing first we are not Turkish settlers who came to the island when Turkey invaded, we have been living there for over 500 years (and yeah I am not denying the fact that my 10the great grandfather maybe was an Ottoman settler but thats too long back and we have lived there for many many generations). Second of all we are not Turkish, we are Turkish Cypriots and I even prefer to just be called a Cypriot since I do not like the fact that we seperate it by names such as Greek Cypriot or Turkish Cypriot.

    This used to be an ethnic conflict but now it is just a toy used by bigger states to have leverage on the other part, while the actual people just want to live peacefully together.

    Purely on technical level (assuming good will). Cyprus could form a Federal State, with two current countries operating independently, but with shared international representation. But unfortunately there is more going one then that.

    You conveniently left out why the 1974 Turkish invasion and partition happened. In 1974, there was a Greek Cypriot military coup backed by Greece with their explicit aim being to merge with Greece proper. Since the early 1960s, Greek Cypriot ethnic violence against Turkish Cypriots forced most of the Turks in central and southern Cyprus to flee to and concentrate in the north.

    Turkey was done playing games and finally invaded. It's entirely possible that the Turkish Cypriot population would have been genocided if the Greek ethnonationalist coup and merger was allowed to go through. Following the 1974 partition, communal violence ceased and there hasn't been any violence ever since. Greek Cypriots held a referendum in 2004 and voted against unification.

    The EU and South Cyprus governments have been desperately trying to keep tensions alive when really this is one of the most successful examples of conflict de-escalation, military intervention and partition in history. Furthermore, saying Europe will never be complete without Cyprus is also absurd, seeing how Cyprus is not in Europe but in the Levantine Sea. It's closer to Syria and Lebanon than to Greece. It's located near Eastern Anatolia. If Cyprus is Europe then all of western and central Anatolia is Europe.

    There's only one just solution for Cyprus and that is a Greek one. Turks are colonists and should go back where they came from. Cyprus was Greek for thousands of years and belongs only to Greeks.

    If the EU ever gets an army, liberating Cyprus should be the first thing to do.

    There was already a referendum for reunification. The Turks voted in favour but the Greeks (!) voted against it. They simply don't want to live with Turks in one country – which is quite understandable.

    That’s must be the worse cover of the Cyprus dispute. The “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” did not exist before the invasion in 1974. The Turks were living scattered in the island. Turkey invaded, occupied and created “Northern Cyprus”.
