Cyprus under Ottoman Rule

In the first paragraph, Eric Solsten’s text archived on the US Congress is given as the only source for the mentioned massacres/ plunders. There are no sources on this text itself, either. The USA Congress is not a historic document on what happenned in Cyprus when the Ottomans came. 2A02:8109:9DA8:5F00:3D59:C1A5:6977:F37E (talk) 21:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
