As you can see from the signs and the flags, they are Hellenes and they speak Hellenic.

They also speak Turkish there, one of the officials languages, which seems to be missing completely from these signs.

True, but the vast majority of Turkish Cypriots decide to live separately (see the occupied part of Cyprus) so don't wave your head.

Yes, it's black and white, they "decided to live there." Also, stop forcing the whole "Hellenic" thing down people's throats, in English it's Cypriot Greek and that's all there is to it.

Isn't the border between Greek and Turkish Cyprus closed anyway?

And I'm definatly not a fan of trilingual signs, bilingual is bad enough as it is.

They are is no Hellenic or Turkish Cyprus. The only official state is the Republic of Cyprus.

I have visited Cyprus in 2001. I have made only 4 pictures of roadsigns then. (the border between the Greek and Turkish part was still closed then, there was only one possilibilty to visit the Northen part of Nicosia, but I didn't do that.
