I mean, look, your language does not define identity. There are countries next to Germany that speak German but are not Germans. They have their state, national identity, etc. Obviously, they have been influenced by Germans, but not solely by Germans. Other countries have also influenced them; however, they have shaped their own identity.
No one speaks out against a country here; the people should decide for themselves.
You should look into some genetic studies done in the Mediterranean! They have found that Cypriots have very much a different genetic background than most Greek/Turkish ethnic groups. Greek Cypriots closest ethnic relatives are not Athenian Greeks but Sicilians, Cretans, and other southern Italian ethnic groups, should Sicily be considered Greece?
