The Cyprus dispute is the result of the ongoing conflict between the Republic of Cyprus and Turkey, over the Turkish occupied northern part of Cyprus.[1] Initially, with the annexation of the island by the British Empire, the "Cyprus dispute" was identified as the conflict between the people of Cyprus and the British Crown regarding the Cypriots' demand for self determination. The dispute however was finally shifted from a colonial dispute to an ethnic dispute between the Turkish and the Greek islanders.[2] The international complications of the dispute stretch far beyond the boundaries of the island of Cyprus itself and involve the guarantor powers (Turkey, Greece, and the United Kingdom alike), along with the United States, the United Nations and the European Union.
With Turkey's military action of 1974 (disapproved by UN Security Council Resolution 1974/360),[4] Turkey occupied the northern part of the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, and later upon those territories the Turkish Cypriot community unilaterally declared independence forming the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), a sovereign entity that lacks international recognition-with the exception of Turkey with which TRNC enjoys full diplomatic relations.
After the two communities and the guarantor countries have committed themselves in finding a peaceful solution over the dispute, the United Nations have since created and maintained a buffer zone (the "Green Line") to avoid any further intercommunal tensions and hostilities. This zone separates the Greek Cypriot-controlled south from the Turkish Cypriot-controlled north.

Stop acting as if the island was evenly split. 80% greeks, 20% turks
CYPRUS IS GREEK
From minute 33 in the documentary, that is how my grandfather also remembered his homeland Cyprus. He being a Turkish Cypriot, his friends being Greek and his wife a Italian Catholic. Peace, quiet and personal freedom were according to him, the key of happines. Sad by the tragic events where both Greekish and Turkish Cypriots lost lifes, lands and loved ones.
cyprus is hellenic forever
lets see:1)Cypriots have the same language with grekks 2)Cypriots have the same religion with greeks 3)Cypriots have the same national hymn 4)Cypriots always use greek flags (they didnt alow as to use it so we had to make the "island flag" i dont say give cyprus to greek or turkish just let the island alone and let them believe what they want
Lebanon must join the European Union 🇱🇧🇪🇺
Hope the young generation of both Turkish & Greek Cypriot realize that what have happened in the past was just for individual benefits & it has nothing with the ethics. I have lived for 4 years in Cyprus & i got many Cypriots friends and all were telling me the same. Both ethics used to live together with no problems. All these things has made up by the British.
GREEK ISLAND
I have Cypriot ancestry along with African ancestry....I want to learn about my people and where I come from, learning your history helps you understand who you are and I am proud of my lineage! One day, I will visit Cyprus and truly experience their beautiful culture, and I can't wait!!!
Greece shouldn't have attempted a coup d'etat..
Went there twice. In 2000 the North was closed but went to the Famegusta viewpoint where I learned the invasion took place the day I was born. Such an eerie feeling looking at the ghost town. Such a pity for this island to be in turmoil. It truly is beautiful.
The Mediterranean is truly magical. all of it.
My favourite place that I've visited so far. Exceeded expectation ten fold. What an amazing place and peace to all Cypriots.
Wow...i was "moved" by this documentary!....I was a young greek cyrpriot when we moved to Canada in '69,,,to this date I am a believer that there is room for "everyone" to co-exist on the island..it is a shame that after all these yrs, no one can come up with a resolution!
My best friend Panicos is from Cyprus.. he’s such a great guy!
THE CYPRUS IS NUMBER ONE .LOVE YOU CYPRUS
That's a beautiful thing to say. I'm visiting Paphos in September and hope to visit the northern part of the island. We all need to learn to live together, regardless of race or religion. Best wishes from England.
There are quite a lot of unfortunate errors at the above so call documentary. .please watch with caution
This tiny island means the world to me. My entire maternal side of the family are Maronites(Phoenicians) From Cyprus! God Bless Cyprus, may she remain free and just
Thank you for your sincerity... you are welcome at any time to visit my country...
