Cyprus is an island divided in two where two communities have opposed
each other for more than twenty years.
A former British colony independent since 1960, the island of Cyprus is
situated to the South of Turkey in the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1974, the
Turkish army invaded the Northern third of the island, following an
attempted cut by the Greek Cypriots.
Since then, Cyprus has been divided
into two parts, separated by a sealed buffer zone occupied by 2,000 UN
troops.
The standard of living on the Turkish side is fairly low, while on the
Greek Cypriot side, 2 million tourists, irrigated agriculture and the
registration of 2,500 vessels provide a degree of wealth.
The island
suffered a major earthquake early in 1995.
Cyprus is a member of the
Commonwealth associated to the European Union..
