Notes

1. The newly built suburb of Varosha was largely uninhabited at the time of the Turkish invasion but would have housed 40,000 Greek Cypriots.

2. The 1973 census data is not a reliable source for determining the number of Greek Cypriot refugees since a) the 1974 Turkish invasion prevented the data from being verified/adjusted and b) Greek Cypriots that lived or owned property in the north who were either living overseas or studying or staying in the south on the day that the census was carried out were not included in the population figures for the villages located in the occupied areas, therefore a projection has been made which includes them among the refugees. The population of Varosha, which would have reached 40,000 Greek Cypriots, has not been counted.

3. The 2004 House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee report on Cyprus claims that 50,000 Turkish Cypriots were displaced from the free areas after the Turkish invasion thus by subtraction 60,000 Turkish Cypriots resided in the occupied areas at the time.

4. Lobby for Cyprus estimate, 2004. The Cyprus government estimates the figure at 116,000 in 2003. This figure has now risen to over 150,000 (2006).

5. Cyprus government figures for 2004.

6. Refugees residing in Cyprus plus refugees residing abroad, including the projected population of Varosha.

7. Greek Cypriot Refugees who left Cyprus after the Turkish invasion and their descendents.

8. Various Turkish Cypriot press articles. Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Union (KTOS), 1997. Today this figure is projected to have risen to up to 90,000 (2004/6).
