Description: Who are the Cypriots? Where did they come from? What are the specifics of their gene pool?

Study finds Greek and Turkish Cypriots to be close genetically
The scientists have found that Y-chromosomal analysis of Greek-Cypriots reveals a common pre-Ottoman paternal ancestry with Turkish-Cypriots. DNA, which contains every person’s genetic information, is found within chromosomes. “Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots share between them many more Y-chromosome haplotypes, both in relative and absolute terms, than with any other surrounding population” (Chrysopoulos, P. 2017, Greek and Turkish Cypriots are Close Genetically). The majority of the population come from a single paternal gene pool of local origin and have very close genetic affinity. 
This modest publication will also try to clear up some of the confusion concerning the ancient Greek, or rather, the “Achaean” Bronze Age heritage of the Cypriots. This factoid or myth has become so widespread that it has almost become generally accepted. In the end, at the expense of the Turkish-Cypriots. We will start with the Late Cypriot Bronze Age around 1500 B.C.E. and finish at the Department of Biological Sciences in Lefkosia (the proper name of the Greek-Cypriot part of Nicosia).
