In this 14th episode of Figure It, Sapienta Economics Director Fiona Mullen talks to Mete Hatay, Senior Research Consultant at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) Cyprus Centre, about the delicate question of the number of people who live in northern Cyprus. There has been no census since 2011, when the population (de jure) was counted as 286,257. The population has definitely grown a lot since then. But is it now 380,000, 550,000, 1 million or even 6 million? In 30 minutes Mete gives good reasons for citing one of those figures, and also explains why it is such a contentious topic.
