Source: Map of Native peoples, ethnic groups in Europe
The question is the same, where are the minorities in Cyprus, how did they disappear and why?
The dilemma is very persistent across many examples, which is based on the larger hypocrisy that exist in the EU policy level, isolation and ignorance of Turkish minority on the island. My e-mail exchanges with Mikael Bodlore-Penlaez, who is the director of this mapping project revealed that he bases his argument on the fact that Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not recognized by EU. But this is not the issue, it is about the minorities and regardless of their ambitions of independence they should be represented on the map. Perhaps some minorities are so minor that they are negligible for the bureoucrats of EUSSR.
