Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Union opposes integration with Turkey
According to YENIDUZEN (17.6.95) the Turkish Cypriot Teachers Trade Union (KTOS) has declared that in case integration with Turkey is realized this will mean that no Turkish Cypriots will remain in Cyprus. KTOS announced that it is against any solution which will make Turkish Cypriots emigrate from Cyprus.
The executive committee of the trade union, in a written statement, accused Denktash of dragging the Turkish Cypriots, through his known tactics, into a dangerous adventure.
The statement further says that Denktash, through his known tactics, is trying to create a situation, using the recent Cyprus EU Association Council decision as an excuse to further his known ideas.
The paper stresses that the EU resolution is not different from previous EU decisions.
The statement urges the Turkish Cypriot leadership, instead of pushing the problem up-hill and rendering its solution difficult, to co-operate and try to solve the problem and enter into membership with the EU.
"Turkish Cypriots can only live in peace and democracy in their own country if a permanent solution to the Cyprus problem is found. If integration with Turkey is realized, the Turkish Cypriots will start emigrating from the island as soon as possible. Consequently there will be no Turkish Cypriots left in Cyprus. Is this the aim of some circles in Cyprus?
KTOS, from the day it was established, has always defended the Turkish Cypriots living in their own country in peace and under democratic conditions. KTOS will continue its struggle for the finding of a lasting solution to the Cyprus problem. It will continue to oppose any solution that will result in the Turkish Cypriots emigrating from Cyprus.
We believe and state that a lasting solution to the Cyprus problem is not only in the interest of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities but is in the interest of Greece and Turkey as well", concludes the statement.
TURKISH COLONIZATION
Gunaydin
"In the place of our people who flee abroad to earn their living, people come from Turkey under the name of 'labour force'. This labour force is turned into a vore force for conservative, chauvinist directed politicians...We are faced with the danger of becoming a minority in northern Cyprus..foreigners in our own homeland"
Ozker Ozgur, leader of Turkish (Cypriot) Republican Party, in Turkish Gunaydin 1.7-14.1986
Berliner Extra Dienst
"...These settlers ... will be used ... in the long term changes in the demographic composition of the island against Greek Cypriots. [...] This tendency for settlement belies the pretext that the 1974 "peace-operation" had as its aim the interests of the Turkish Cypriot community"
"Berliner Extra Dienst", 8.5.1977
Der Spiegel
"...The settlers from Anatolia took most of the houses left behind by the Greeks, as well as fields and machinery. This caused resentment on the part of the Turks who came from the south [Turkish Cypriots] and who felt they had been wronged in the sharing of Greek loot..." "Der Spiegel", 7.17.1978
NRC-Handelsblad
"...Turkish Cypriots ...believe that more than 100,000 mainland Turks have already moved into previously Greek-Cypriot houses..."

The Guardian
"They invaded in two separate waves. They camped along the Attila Line, holding 36 per cent of Cyprus. They have not budged since. Worse, they have relentlessly filled northern Cyprus with mainland immigrants, squeezing all but a handfull of Greeks from their territory.
...Who can woder...that the Greeks fear not merely permanent division along the Attila Line but, at some suitable future moment with some suitable future excuse, a further Turkish push to swallow all of Cyprus? Will world opinion be any more help then that it is now?..." 'Words won't shift Turkey' in "The Guardian", 8.30.1979
Noticiero Universal
"From the 200,000 refugees -nearly one-third of the total population- around 18,500 remained enclaved in the Turkish region and were under sustained pressure to abandon their homes. Thus in their place 50,000 Turkish settlers from Anatolia have been accommodated, who altered the demographic character of the occupied territories, and obtained title of "permanent" ownership of these properties..."
Nati Gutierrez, 'A slow agony scourges the "Island of Love" ' in "Noticiero Universal", 1.17.85
La Croix
"...These settlers were given land and properties belonging to Greek Cypriots, chased away in the south... In a few days they [settlers] were allocated Cypriot nationality [sic] so that they could vote during the elections in favour of Denktash's administration and their behavious, rapes, thefts, and dealing with drugs were overlooked.
...The colonization by the continental Turks, is denounced by the Turkish Cypriots themselves who suffer from its consequences."
"La Croix", 7.11.1980
The Spectator
"In spite of past hatreds, many Turkish Cypriots say they regret the exodus of the Greeks and even that they feel more affinity with these fellow Cypriots than they do with the mainland Turks, especially the Anatolians. We call them A.A. for 'Anatolian Apes' said one local sophisticate. The mainlanders are accused of boorishness, arrogance, looting and not going away.." "The Spectator", 9.16.1978
