Turkish settlers in Northern Cyprus

About half of the population of Northern Cyprus is made up of Turks who have settled in Northern Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and their descendants (not including Turkish soldiers). The vast majority of the Turkish settlers were given houses and land that legally belong to Greek Cypriots by the government of Northern Cyprus, which is solely recognised by Turkey.
