THIS IS RACIST! TURKISH CYPRIOT FAMILIES 1ST STARTED COMING TO LONDON FROM AS EARLY AS 1930 TO 1974 BECAUSE OF THE EOKA GREEK TERRORISTS IN CYPRUS KILLING THEM & BRITISH SERVICEMEN ON THE ISLAND! BUT TURKS FROM TURKEY STARTED COMING TO ENGLAND FROM 1980 & KURDS FROM IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA & EUROPEAN TURKEY CAME TO BRITIAN AS REFUGEES FROM 1990. ALL 3 ARE ETHNICALLY & PHYSICALLY DIFFERENT! EVEN THE WAY THEY THINK IS DIFFERENT! PLEASE STOP CLASSING THEM THIS WAY!
