Different sources give different estimates about the number of Roma residing in the Republic controlled area of Cyprus (south). Two governmental officers interviewd for the purposes of RAXEN Thematic Study on the Housing Conditions of Roma and Travellers (March 2009) gave two different estimates: an officer from the Department of Turkish-Cypriot Properties at the Ministry of Interior put the figure up to 710. Another oficer of the Ministry of Interior estimated the Roma to be between 620-650. The Third ECRI report on Cyprus published in 2006 refers to 619 Roma; the Fourth ECRI report published in 2011 refers to 760 Roma, quoting an unnamed governmental source. |
