Natives of, eg, Nicosia (8)

I believe the answer is:

cypriots

(Other definitions for cypriots that I've seen before include "People" , "Native inhabitants of Limassol, say" , "They're from Limassol, say" , "Coty rips through these islanders" , "Nationality of citizens of Nicosia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
