I'm sorry if this question is controversial, but I'm just curious. I'm not from Cyprus, Greece or Turkey and I have no connection to any of these places so I do not have ulterior motives...
The Republic of Cyprus has two official languages: Greek and Turkish. However, I read that in the southern part of the island (excluding Northern Cyprus), only 0,2% of the population speak Turkish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Cyprus)
Therefore, when we say that Cyprus has Turkish as it official language, are we talking about the Northern part? Is Turkish official also in the southern part? Or is Greek official in the southern while Turkish is official in the north?
And if that is the case, being that the speakers of Turkish is so low in the south, is Turkish still going to be an official language? Or are there plans to only recognize Greek as official in the south?
