The Turks of Cyprus are the heirs of the Ottoman bureaucracy and land-owning peasantry settled the island since 1571, the year of the conquest. Their administrative power lasted to a certain degree during the British colonial rule (1878–1960) since the governors sent by London continued to employ them in most of their administrative services and the police force.
