CYPRUS

 THE CYPRUS PROBLEM
 Cyprus is an independent country since 1960. There were two
  communities on the island, the Greek Cypriots (majority) and the Turkish
  Cypriots (minority) who lived for many years on the island
 In 1963 there was a conflict between the two communities led by fanatic
  nationalist groups
 On the 15th of July of 1974, a coup led by some Greek Cypriots with the
  help of the Dictatorial Government of Greece at the time overthrew the
  legal president of Cyprus, Makarios
 Five days later on the 20th of July of 1974 Turkish troops invaded the
  island
 As a result Turkey took over the 38% of the island. This part is still
  occupied.

                                                             7

CYPRUS

 200 thousand Greek Cypriots had to leave by force their homes and
  come to the southern areas as refugees, thousands of people were killed
  and a number of people also still missing.
THE
 InCYPRUS
     1985 the PROBLEM
                occupied areas were declared as independent forming the so
  called “Northern Republic of Cyprus” which is recognized by Turkey but
  not recognized by the United Nations, or any other country in the world
 Only since 2004 Greek Cypriots are allowed to “visit” their home-land,
  under conditions, e.g. showing a passport. Other country nationals can
  also visit the occupied area by showing a valid passport
 In case you decide to visit the occupied area do not accept to have a
  stamp on your passport, ask the guards at the crossing point to stamp
  you a blank piece of paper. The other part is not recognized as a
  different country. Make sure you cross the border through legal points.
 Unfortunately a solution to the problem has not yet been achieved
  although talks are being held over the years
