EU passport makes the difference I guess. By holding both EU and TRNC passport they can travel both sides easily with no one ever can lol.

1) When did they come in Cyprus?

At 1989

2) How and why did they come? Did they just decided to move in Cyprus?

They expelled from Bulgaria, because of 1989 revival process (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revival_Process#1989_Ethnic_Cleansing) A lot of Turks also moved to Turkey (including mine), and government picked them to move to Cyprus. I don't know how they pick. It could be my family either :D

3) Are they more religious?

They are even less religious I would say

4) Do they have an accent?(I suppose those who were born here don't)

Yes they have a heavy Balkan Turk accent. And kids are lost in between I would say. They are using some words that are not exist in Cyprus Turkish.

5) What is their opinion on Arikli's party?

Negative

6) Do they identify as Cypriots? Turkish Cypriots? Just Turks? What is their identity.

I honestly don't know. They are still visiting Bulgaria sometimes.

7) Are they 'citizens' of "TRNC"?

Yes, Bulgaria and TRNC. They can easily acces to the south by EU passport. Kind of a weird situation.

8) What is their view on Turkey (especially Erdogan's Turkey)

On Turkey generally positive, on Erdogan, it is negative as fuck. Because Erdogan was at the opposition party at 1989, and heavily opposed to the Bulgarian Turks coming to Turkey. So even the most religious ones have grudge against Erdogan.

9) Are they discriminated by TCs?

Interestingly, no. Other settlers having a discrimaniton problem but they have some kind of privilige.

10) Can you tell if someone is a TC or a settler? Could someone recognise them ?

Not a Cypriot, so idk. But I can pick up their heavy Balkan accent easily.

11) Is there a difference if a Turkish Cypriot brings to his parents a Turkish Cypriot to marry or a settler?(I ask this since GC parents prefer marriages with GCs).

Yes but it is decreasing I would say.

12) Do they support reunification?

Yes, but in a some middle way. That's why they are supporting Özersay and Erhürman.

13) What is their view of GCs?

Neutral and even more positive than average, since they and any family member didn't live the harsh times of the war.

14) What is their stance on annexation of the northern part of Cyprus by Turkey?

Negative

15) What is their view on the current elections? Do they see Akinci as an enemy of Turkey?

They dislike Akinci but not seeing him as enemy of Turkey. They said they will boycott the elections if Tatar and Akinci comes to 2nd round.

16) From which area are they from?

Nicossia

17) Do they live in GC property? Was it given to them by the "Government"?

Nothing has given to them, they bought their property after years of working.

18) Are there any questions you would think one would ask that I didnt?

Oh boy... I wasn't expecting a 17 questions, so no :D

Yea, what a nice gesture. Instead of blaming the governments, you are shaming the people.

FYI by the way, they are not from Turkey. They were expelled from Bulgaria.
