My quote makes more sense if you add the sentence immediately preceding the one you have pasted: They did NOT occupy the Greek side (the south). There are no settlements in Cyprus systematically financed by Turkey, as is the case in Palestinian territory financed by Israel. What I mean, obviously, is that Turks have NOT crossed the line into Greek territory and financed settlements there. I have missed a word - it should read "... no settlements in Greek Cyprus...", as you can see from the first sentence. I cannot see anyone objecting to Turks coming and settling in the Turkish side of Cyprus, just as Greeks can and do come and settle in the Greek side. Except, possibly, "ekeka", the Federation of Cypriot Refugees, who left the island after 1974. You might like to find more objective sources if you would like to learn more about this particular conflict.
