== Turkish Cypriots == |
|||
Turkish Cypriots are by constitutional definition of Republic of Cyprus are |
|||
native people of Cyprus. Addressing them "people from occupied part of |
|||
Island of Cyprus" is totally ignorant and a false statement. Many Turkish |
|||
Cypriot have roots in Limassol and Paphos. |

==Boris Johnson== |

"..didn’t come without effort." Hilarious. |

==Re:Population== |
|||
Do these figures of population estimates include the Kurds of Turkey in them, I know that many people of the Kurdish community speak Turkish. [[User:Londium|Londium]] 01:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC) |

==Re:Young Turks== |
|||
This paragraph is irrelevant to the article, holding no factual information, and untrue, as Turkey's fertility rate in 2007 was 1.89, not "3 or 4 children per family" as claimed. |
|||
"Turkish children do not face any more difficulty growing up in the UK than other nationalities, so therefore the section is not needed.consequently many young people are not encouraged to have interests outside of the home, especially young women, as the family do not want them to ‘stray’ i.e. become too westernised" |
|||
- this is untrue, and a sweeping generalisation. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Redrose vampire|Redrose vampire]] ([[User talk:Redrose vampire|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Redrose vampire|contribs]]) 16:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Requested move== |
|||
[[Turkish British]] → [[British Turks]] — It looks as though 'British Turks' is the commonest name for this group, rather than 'Turkish British'. A Google search for "British Turks" gets 9,000 hits [http://www.google.ca/search?gbv=2&hl=en&q=%22british%20turks%22-wikipedia&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw]; although "Turkish British" gets 12,000 hits, almost all seem to be in unrelated phrases such as "Turkish-British negotiations" [http://www.google.ca/search?gbv=2&hl=en&q=%22turkish%20british%22-wikipedia&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw], so the number referring to the ethnic group is probably low. It therefore looks as though the page should be called "British Turks", but feedback would be helpful. —[[User:Cop 663|Cop 663]] ([[User talk:Cop 663|talk]]) 13:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC) |
