Cyprus is a single island. In 1960 it became independent as the Republic of Cyprus. In 1974, nationalist Greeks launched a coup d'etat against the Cypriot government and there followed an invasion by Turkey and mass movement of the population into the north (Turkish Cypriots) or the south (Greek Cypriots). The island was partitioned into the Republic of Cyprus, controlled by the Greek Cypriots, which retained international recognition as the official government, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is only recognised by Turkey.
Since 1974 the partition remains in effect, policed by the United Nations. Reunification talks continue. |
