It's been announced by New Cyprus Party .
Maronites must be allowed to return back to their homes which they left at 74 .

New Cyprus Party says they are going to start a campaign for it .

Returning of Maronites will help the solution of the Cyprus Problem.

Why only Maronites? The rest of us are cursed? Did we piss in the village well or something?

How does Turkey & Talat feel about this?

Excuse my ignorance, but Maronites?

Maronites are christians, but non-orthodox. There is a maronite village near Sandranozkoy still populated by Maronites. I forget the name though.

That is Kormakitis, given the name Koruçam during the campaign to Turkify village names.

Thanks.

So they had a village in the south, before 74?

Oh, they had more than one village, I am not sure how many - they were a minority ethnic group. I only know of this one though. I will try and find out more.
