“Politis” Greek Cypriot newspaper on (30/08/05) provides a very short news piece of an article that was published in “Yeni Duzen” Turkish Cypriot newspaper, regarding a research by a Turkish genetics engineer, Erol Baisal, who claims that he contacted a research about 15 years ago and found that the DNA genes of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are very close, almost identical between them and certainly much more close than the corresponding genes of the mainland Greeks and Turks.

Rough translation of article

In 1990 samples from 116 Turkish Cypriot, 303 Greek Cypriot, 235 mainland turks and 174 mainland greeks were tested in the US by professor Huisman.

Genetic illness and DNA expert Dr. Erol Baysal with the assistance of english, turkish, cypriot and greek experts conducted the work, and found that the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot DNA was very close.

Even though the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot see the mainland as there genetic source they are very far apart and also very different and that certain codes in the DNA which can only be found in cypriots was conclusive proof that Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot were the only ones that have this DNA.

Even though it was always assumed that Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot were close this showed they were much closer than could be anticipated.

very very interesting brother

not surprising given we used to live peacefully together years ago.

i believe there must be many similarities between GC and TC.

this has got to be the common ground that we focus on in terms of re-unification and bicommunal talks ?? ?? ??

This in itself brings down all the walls that we are two communities when in truth we have always only been one people on one island, does it not.

here here, ONE CYPRUS >> ONE PEOPLE
