I believe it's this one http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Schinus+molle and if so you shouldn't eat the seeds. Was it a Turkish Cypriot who told you could eat them?

It looks similar to the one Malsancak has posted but not 100% sure. I have eaten the pink peppercorns it produces (just crushed up and added to cooking) and didn't have any problems but perhaps I will resist in future!!
