Turkey's obvious aim is to assimilate the part of Cyprus it occupies and to ultimately annex it. (6) To prejudice a just settlement of the Cyprus problem by creating illegal faits accomplis which could prove practically difficult to reverse. To provide additional trained reserves for the Turkish occupation forces in Cyprus. (5) To buttress Turkey’s military presence on the island. (4) To control and manipulate the political will of the Turkish Cypriots (even in the post-solution era)

They also participate in other political parties and play an important role in political life. They have been organised in political parties, the main ones of which are the “Nationalist Justice Party” and the “National Revival Party”. To that effect, the colonists have been given 'citizenship', Greek Cypriot properties, 'voting rights' and work permits. To e xercise control over political life in the occupied area. (3) To shift the balance of political power in the occupied part of Cyprus and influence elections (Note 1), in order to ensure that the Turkish Cypriot leadership is kept in line with the policy of the Turkish Government. This policy, combined with the expulsion of the Greek Cypriot inhabitants of the area, the destruction of cultural heritage and illegal change of all the geographical names of the occupied part of Cyprus, aimed at erasing all that was Greek and Christian for centuries and “turkifying” the area.

(2) To ethnically cleanse the occupied area and massively transfer mainland Turks. (1) To change the demographic character and to distort the population balance on the island between Turks and Greeks of the island, in order to justify the claims of the Turkish side regarding the territorial and constitutional aspects of the Cyprus Problem. The main Turkish objectives in adopting this policy of colonization in the occupied part of Cyprus appear to be the following: Since the Turkish invasion of 1974, Turkey has implemented a systematic policy of colonizing the occupied part of Cyprus, from which it expelled 170,000 Greek Cypriots.
