Are there any differences?

Are there any differences between the settlers and the Turkish Cypriot?

I mean, culture, language, dress, food, etc.

thanks

I guess the easiest answer to this is that Turkish Cypriots and Turks are as similar as Greek Cypriots and Greeks are.

when i visited the OTs i remember my cypriot uncle pointing out all the settlers from their clothing. they dressed more conservaitvely, whereas the Turkish Cypriots dressed in a more "euro-friendly" manner.

however, it also depends on how long the settlers have been in cyprus. i dont think the Greek Cypriot/Greek analogy is equivalent to that of a Turkish Cypriot/settler analogy because settlers have been living in Cyprus and, I'm guessing, would have many mixed traits.

of course this is only from a few hour visit and a few discussions from the other forum. not sure if its all accurate.
