Considered together, the villages have always been mixed. As can be seen from the chart above, in the Ottoman census of 1831, Christians (Greek Cypriots) constituted the majority of the population at 64%. In 1891, their percentage increased to 72%. Throughout the British period, while the Greek Cypriot population increased steadily, the Turkish Cypriot population fluctuated and eventually declined. By 1960, the Greek Cypriot share of the population had risen to 81.4%.
Displacement:
The first conflict-related displacement took place during the intercommunal tensions of 1958 caused by the armed EOKA struggle. Almost all the Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of Flasou fled the village and moved to more secure areas. After independence in 1960 they returned. However, they were displaced a second time during intercommunal disturbances in January 1964 and moved to Turkish Cypriot-controlled villages and towns such as Lefka/Lefke(060), Elia/Doğancı(029), Angolemi/Taşpınar(018) and Kazivera/Gaziveran(049). None of the Turkish Cypriots from this village returned. Currently, most of the Turkish Cypriots of Flasou are scattered around north Cyprus with a large pocket in Pentagiea/Yeşilyurt(084). In 1975 the Republic of Cyprus government allocated some of the empty Turkish Cypriot houses to displaced Greek Cypriots on a temporary basis.
Current Inhabitants:
Currently the village is mainly inhabited by its original Greek Cypriot villagers. Since 1974, the village’s population has been in decline, mainly due to migration to the cities. The last census of 2001 puts the total population of the village at 261.
