thread_title:  Legality 

message: As you say this island never been Greek in history. Ottoman empire allowed Greeks to live in this island thats the reason this island have Greek citizens but because of past Greek revolution in 60s and Makarios and Solmon lots of innocent cypress Turks were murdered. United Nations and UK only watched. Turkish Republic was the one of guarantor Nation others were Greece and UK but in the past, Island owners were Ottoman Empire it mean Turk , Turkish Republic want to help from UK to protect Turks who living in island but UK didnt care finally Turkish army attacked the island because of protect cypress Turks. And no one expect they can conquar to Island . USA blocks selling gun to Turkish army even all of this They won the war. But world dont want to accept lots of Turks were murdered on this island. For example if you search you can see one of Turkish army doctors family were murdered to slay I mean his wife and his little children. That's happened before the war. whatever this Island were directed with cypress Greek and Turks were represented minority they were accepted this eventhough there was no solution and Turkish Republic were rights on this Island they used this right.So THERE IS NO INNOVATİON! They can live in Varosha easyly but they forbiden to protect it . I hope world search this cypress problem on lots of sources because, dont know clearly all facts and things. Turkish Republic always one of stepbrother to Eu and USA, but it's land and it's army always necessery to use from EU and USA  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.103.24.76 (talk) 00:30, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

message: 1) Picture: I don't think there are any cities whichs main picture is just a random roundabout. The Saint Sophia Church/Mosque is more unique to the city, therefore I believe it shoudl be the main picture.
2) Rule: The city is officially under Cypriot rule. Cyprus is recognized as the ruler of the city by EVERY COUNTRY in the world (except Turkey), the UN, the EU and all the other world organizations. Therefor it is fit for its country to be listed as Cyprus. 
3) Mayor: The official mayor of the city is Alexis Galanos since he is the only legal mayor. Cyprus, the EU and the UN only recognize the Nicosia Turkish municipality (other than the neutral Cypriot ones). Oktay Kayalp is not recognized as the mayor by any country, organization or union. Therefor mentioning him as the mayor is not right.
4) Legality: The north part of Cyprus is recognized as being under illegal invasion by the UN and EU. Therefor texts which state this are informative texts, rather than biased ones. Two UN resolutions published in 1983, UN resolution 541, UN resolution 550 and many others back and state the fact that the north part of Cyprus is under illegal Turkish invasion.
5) If there is anything else that I wrote that someone feels is biased please state it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmatso (talk • contribs) 23:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  in my opinion current main picture (roundabout) is so pointless too. Old photo (St. Nicholas' Cathedral/Lala Mustafa Pasa Mosque) was way better. That monument is almost symbol of Famagusta (even Famagusta Turkish Manucipality use it in their logo)  (Ghuzz (talk) 17:56, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

message: The following coordinate fixes are needed for, as the actual coordinates are yes inside the city (south) but outside the real city center (that means inside the old Venetian walls). I suggest to use the latitude=35.1248 and longitude=33.9417 coordinates instead.

message: The article says that in 1974, there were 60,000 inhabitants, consisting of 26,500 Greek Cypriots, 8500 Turkish Cypriots and 4000 from other ethnic groups. That makes 39,000 together, what about the other 21,000? Bever (talk) 00:58, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: The VICE article on Varosha says that Varosha also had 39,000 inhabitants before the invasion, did the two towns coincidentally have the same number of inhabitants or was the journalist confusing the numbers? Bever (talk) 05:28, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I know that after the invasion/intervention  it was called Gazi Mağusa, but did they call it just Mağusa before the invasion or not, or maybe they only called it Famagusta. Does anyone know what was it called? 95.0.226.6 (talk) 17:05, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I searched but could not come up with any Ottoman reference other than Mağusa or more common currently, Magosa (should be added to article). They probably borrowed/used the Arabic name or a variation. 72.69.210.72 (talk) 20:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
