I am not sure if demanding to return to your home land (like the Greek Cypriots are now doing) is the same thing as a "historical claim" by a nation to a territory, kicking out the current inhabitants. How many generations marks the cutoff between "home land" and "historical"? It's like the Israeli, who being accused of not letting the Palestinian refugees return to their homeland, asked, "The refugees should come back after 50 years?" "Yes." "After 100 years?" "Yes." "After 1000 years?" "Yes." "After 2000 years?" "Yes!" "That's me. I came back." Another argument that always seems to work in one direction only.
