Speculative press reports

@GGT: could you explain what you mean with 'despite ...'? 'Such reports have never been scientifically or statistically scrutinized, despite opportunities of opposition parties, which has resulted in a "war of numbers".' Alakzi (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to do so, how is it now? --GGT (talk) 19:54, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense now, thanks. Will you also edit the next paragraph, where it's claimed that Turkish settlers outnumber Turkish Cypriots? Alakzi (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The North is a country

Alakzi said: "Upon further inspection, disputed territories do not use any of the country categories, so I'm removing all of them" and requested us discussing here. Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Countries_in_Europe (Kosovo is listed here). It seems that either Kosovo is not disputed acc. to Alakzi or he missed Kosovo during his inspection. Also, I remember someone mentioned on this issue in the Talk page very recently.Ayka3b (talk) 19:54, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

De facto handling of Northern Cyprus as a separate country

"While unrecognized internationally except by Turkey, the international community has taken a pragmatic approach administratively to the division of the island" can be loaded to the introductory part.
