Κύπρος
Kıbrıs
Ελληνικά Κύπρος - Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία[1]

Η Κύπρος είναι νησί της ανατολικής Μεσογείου θάλασσας, το τρίτο σε μέγεθος, και βρίσκεται 100 περίπου χιλιόμετρα νότια της Τουρκίας και 120 χιλιόμετρα δυτικά της Συρίας. Γεωγραφικά η Κύπρος ανήκει στην νοτιοδυτική Ασία. Ωστόσο, επειδή ιστορικά, πολιτιστικά η Κύπρος ακολούθησε τη πορεία όλου του Ελληνισμού, μπορεί να θεωρείται μέρος της Δύσης και της Ευρώπης.

Cyprus inside the British Empire
A former British colony, the Republic of Cyprus gained independence in 1960 while the United Kingdom retained two Sovereign Base Areas. Following 11 years of alternating intercommunal violence, leading to the sending of UN peacekeeping forces in 1964, and peaceful attempts at reconciliation in response to an Athens-engineered coup aimed at uniting the island with Greece, Turkey launched a two-stage invasion of the island in 1974. The invasion led to the internal displacement of thousands of Greek and Turkish Cypriots and the subsequent establishment of a separatist regime to govern the invaded area, currently styling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, separated from the south by the UN-controlled Green Line and recognized only by Turkey.
