As far as Greek Cypriots are concerned, baklava is not particularly popular among them, but neither is it something they are unfamiliar with or have never tasted.
Seeing it on a festive table is not the norm, but neither is it something that you would consider unusual if it did happen.

I think it’s more popular in Greece rather than Cyprus

We do it but with almonds and honey instead of pistachio and syrup. I prefer the Turkish version

I would say my experience says that γαλακτομπούρεκο (galaktoboureko) is more popular then baklava, but it is also not a local dessert.

Not related to the question. The type of phyllo used is an Ottoman innovation.
Placenta likely had a thick phyllo like that of the Greek pies but was broadly similar. There is a derivative in Lesbos called platsenta.
In Greece today we make baklava but often it has walnuts and sometimes almonds (e.g. a mix of walnuts and almonds with more walnuts) and not pistachios.

Turks usually detested sweet food. It was something we picked up from the Arabs and Persians.

As a Turk from Antep, which is considered to be the Baklava HQ in Turkey, our baklavas are heavy on syrup and pistachios. There are other, regional variants in Armenia, Greece, Israel etc. so I don’t think it “belongs” to one ethnicity or culture.
