Talk:Morphou

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unfortunately this entry is very accurate. I was borned in Morphou in 1960. Morphou was then a beatiful town surrounded by orange trees and orange blossoms. It reminded me of Eden. In 1974 we were forced to leave the town by the Turkish troops. Since then turkish cypriots and settlers live in the town. They also dream of going back to their own hometowns since they are also refugees.Ick2 02:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

You know that Turkish Cypriots compressed to only 3% of the Cyprus island (from 40 %). Turks were happy in limassol just as you were happy in Morphou. Then, Greek Cypriots' EOKA Terror Organization applied etnic cleansing to Turks. While this was occuring, why did you raise your voice and prevent etnic-cleansing of Turks? United Nations Peace Force came to the Cyprus island in 1963 (11 years before Turkish action). If you prevented the Greek Cypriot Fanatics in that time, today Turks could be able to live in the south of the island as well, just as you could have been living in Morphou!!TimDuncanSupportsTRNC 12:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Spelling should be Güzelyurt, can this be changed? --Yak 19:27, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

please let's not have an edit war on each town and village. As I said at the discussion on Dipkarpaz, Cyprus has two official languages, Greek and Turkish. The place to discuss the names and the invasion etc. is Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or List of cities in Cyprus, or history of Cyprus, or whatever, everything else is a waste of time --Yak 15:49, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

For the information of all. There is no such country as the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus". It is a PSEUDO-STATE that is only recognised by Turkey and not by any other country in the international community, nor by the United Nations.
