Living in Europe's last divided capital | Growing up in Cyprus

Sude and Orestis live in Nicosia, Cyprus. They’re both 22, both medical students with a passion for political science - yet they live under two different governments.
Nicosia is the last divided capital in Europe: a Turkish occupation in the North, the Republic of Cyprus in the South, and a thick green line cutting the capital in half to keep the two separated. We talked to two young Cypriots from either side of the ceasefire line to learn what life on a divided island feels like, and what their dream is for their home.

    Elena, I wish the video mentioned the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" that preceded "TRNC." "Turkish" Cypriots had other administrations before "TRNC," but the transition from the federated state to "TRNC" was a critical one--in a very negative way for "Turkish" Cypriots and Cyprus in general.

    Dear Elena, congrats on your work. With all due respect, i would not agree, however, that the Cyprus issue is truly complex. On the contrary, it is quite simple and straightforward. What is all about? It's about abolishing the Republic of Cyprus and allowing Turkey's boots to step on Cyprus's soil. This crime was carefully devised BEFORE the establishment of the Republic. That's why in the foundation agreements there were provisions for guarantors and intervention rights. That's why the Turks of Cyprus were upgraded from a minority to a community in the Constitution. That's why the Greeks of Cyprus were downgraded from a majority to a community constitutionslly equal to the minority. That's why Turkey provided armaments and training to the Turks of Cyprus while the Greeks were almost totally unarmed. That's why the Turks of Cyprus turned their guns against the Greeks, provoking them, inducing them to defend themselves, playing the victims of the Greeks. NATO decided to abolish the state and placed Cyprus under the boots of NATO member States. They cheated when they proposed the establishment of a Republic (instead of the demand by the Greeks for Enosis). They cheated because they knew in advance that there were all necessary mechanisms in place that would lead such state to total failure. Such design was, yes, diabolical complex. But triggering the outcome was so simple as could be executed even by a child. Set up the so-called TC community, provide them weapons, impose on them a brutal leadership so no one TC will object (remember those TC who disagree with their leaders), provide intervention rights to Turkey, set the TC to attack the population, see the Turkish hordes landing on Cyprus's ground and the rest can be depicted by the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Look what they have done in the occupied areas since 1974. It's wrong. They do not occupy the areas. They turkify them. It's much worse. They bring settlers. The changed the names of towns. They destroy our cultural heritage. They destroyed our churches, even the graves of our grandfathers. Like a growing cancer. And they are proud of it. That's what they are. That's what the Cyprus issue is about. And they achieved all this with the strong support of the western civilised Christian countries. Look how they reacted against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how gently the treat Turkey in relation to its invasion of Cyprus. It's disgusting. Isn't it? Disgusting but simple. Not complex at all. Please forgive me. I failed to mention the notorious Acheson Plan and the dictatorship imposed over the people of Greece. "If the Greek Government does not agree, we (USA) will change the Greek Government" they said. And they changed it. 😠

I'm sorry Sude, you may feel European, but that doesn't change the fact that you are Turkish, when the "Annan Plan Referendum" was held in 2004, Turkish Cypriots voted yes to unification, while Greek Cypriots voted no. The people of Cyprus may rightfully be disturbed by the actions of some Turks who went to Cyprus from Türkiye and may complain about some other political things but at the end of the day, remember that we are your friends, realize what you have experienced in the past and be a little grateful.

    Stupid arguments. Annan plan was very unfair to the Greek Cypriots. The plan gave equal represent of the Turks and Greeks even though The Ratio of Turks to Greece was about 1:4. Furthermore Most Turks in the north are not Cypriot Turks but settlers from the mainland Turkey who came after 1974. The deal even allowed Turkish troops to remain on the island. Basically the deal allowed Turkey to militarily occupy the islands and let the people who were loyal to Turkey to control the government. Why should have the Greek Cypriots accepted such a lopsided deal?

    The problem is unfortunately ethnic. A Greek is a Greek a Turkish is a Turkish. I don't believe that there exists a common umbrella identity of being Cypriot even if there used to be, these days it's not palpable.Take the example of Oresti and Sude, they have nothing in common, it's nearly impossible for them to come across each other in social circles. They study in different countries, they speak different mother tongues, they have different values towards life even moral values are different due to the effect of the religion even though Turkish Cypriots are more secular than Greek Cypriots which is evident as the first president of the Republic of Cyprus was Makarios. All in all, only thing that unites them is their zeal to get across to the other side. Orestis thinks of this as a claim of territory, Sude takes this as a claim of identity in the form of acceptance a piece of paper to tell her she is Cypriot real Cypriot to travel abroad, for orestis the land of her Giagia left in the North, a childhood fairy tale

My feeling is that people were just happy about having peaceful lives and hopefully making more money. At nights. I enjoyed seeing young people sitting and chatting with each other in a coffee street that literally adhered along the buffer zone which was wide enough to house a football court. I also spent time in Girne, a beautiful seashore where an old castle stood majestically.

    Usually these tests only showcase DNA and genetic make up based only on recent DNA. In fact DNA in Greece also includes Albanian, Bulgarian and Romanian DNA which Greek Cypriots don't have. So Cypriot DNA is a very confused term. In fact Greek Cypriots share a very close genetic proximity with the Aegean Islands and Cretans (the Greek Cretan population is the closest genetic make up apart from Cypriot in my DNA). The fact that Turkish Cypriots have a common pre-Ottoman ancestry with the Greek Cypriots only proves that they are local people who converted, due to many reasons and used to be Greek. However nowadays after many decades and three hundred years they have completely adopted the Turkish culture and thus ethnically they are Turkish. Which of course they are is nothing wrong with it and should be respected along the other cultures of Cyprus.

It's precisely this kind of thinking that allows the linobambaki to advocate for a sanitized Cypriot identity without any Hellenic element. Similarly for Sicily, it's been held by so many different people across history, it would be far fetched to claim its a cluster on its own.

    The Greek nationality and state was formed way before the British came to the island. Greek Cypriots already identified as Greek by the arrival of the British and they differentiated themselves from the Ottomans. Before the emergence of Greek and Turkish nationalism, the communities were differentiated by law and privileges, between Christians (Romioi) and Muslims. Nevertheless the British did indeed use nationalism as a tool of division when it suited their interests and suppressed it when it didn't. It is our task to secure peace in the future between Cyprus, Greece and Turkey but the present system is incapable of guaranteeing such peace only the common interests of the workers can do so.

    Many Turkish Cypriots are genetically Greek. However DNA is not the only factor determining ethnicity and thus they are considered Turkish. Turkish Cypriots deserve the right of self-determination like every ethnic group but not to the detriment of others and in this case the Greek Cypriots. How are they going to have a state in an island in which in all the cities the majority of the population was Greek if not by expulsion and invasion. Would a Greek from Famagusta ever want to unite the city with Turkey? No. Thus they should have all the rights they need for peaceful co-existence as long as they do not cut off the rights of others. In this case freedom of religion, voting, citizenship, freedom of assembly and freedom of speech.@@Lyallpuriya

This is why the Annan Plan failed - it gave both sides veto power and equal number of judges, as far as I know. Also, the presence of Turkish settlers is left open, and it has no solution that pleases everyone.

    That's why these ethnic conflicts are indeed in reality very complex, and oversimplifying them would be bad. Maybe some Moldovans do want reunification and feel Romanian and so would feel that's historical justice and self-determination... But what about the Gagauz people for example? They don't share this perspective at all... For them it could be viewed as the opposite. Therefore there isn't one right or wrong side of this conflict. Except of some side decides to escalate and start being violent and disproportionate.

If people had become Europeans by making their hair blonde, naturally blonde Bosnians would not have been massacred by Europeans a quarter of the way into the 21st century. Most of Cyprus is not like this. Cypriots who are old enough to live in ancient times are devoted to Turkey. But those who are under British influence see Turkey as an invader. Because they were born abundantly and did not experience massacres.

    The division of Cyprus was planned BEFORE the establishment of the Republic (that's why the Agreements provided for "intervention rights" and even BEFORE any conflict between GC and TC. Such conflict was deemed to be necessary. So it was induced artificially from the outside. Tell us something about the "surrounding" environment. For example, the Istanbul polgrom against the Greeks and its link with Cyprus. Or about the following efforts of the external players to divide Cyprus, such as the notorious Acheson Plan. History is not a bedside story. If not complete and filled in with the crucial details it becomes a fake story. Unfortunately for the people of Cyprus and especially the GC who are the most tragic victims of the history of Cyprus, not just today but for every other period of time. Most TC are turkified Greeks of Cyprus during the Ottoman rulling. They are not settlers from Turkey or other Ottoman countries. Do your research. For the non historian layman there is a very informative and objective book on Google free to read. "The bloody truth on Cyprus". Have a look into it. It doesn't harm. Thank you.

    Amazing video, but something to know: Sude (the girl being interviewed), living in Northern Cyprus, is automatically a Republic of Cyprus citizen. Therefore, she can get a Cyprus passport by default. Sude and any Turkish Cypriots who are BORN in Northern Cyprus and whose parents have roots on the island are automatically Republic of Cyprus citizens. The Republic of Cyprus passport is internationally recognized, and Sude can use it to travel to Europe and the world. The Republic of Cyprus recognizes all Turkish Cypriots as its own citizens. I think Sude already has the Republic of Cyprus passport, but she does not admit that she has it in this interview.

While it is true that Cypriots born in the Republic, regardless of being TRNC citizens, have the right to a passport, that's not true for children of mixed marriages, which is Sude's case. One of her parents is Turkish Cypriot, but the other is Turkish, so this doesn't give her the right to the passport of the Republic of Cyprus. That of the children of mixed marriages is a hugely complicated matter in Cyprus!

No matter whether they are greek or turk ethnicity after all they are Cypriots in the first place. They do not come from either Greece or Turkey, they come from Cyprus and that whole island is their home. It doesn't matter if their culture traditions and religion are different they are all Cypriots which should be the main factor when creating a country. They should take an example from Bulgaria in Bulgaria there's many bulgarian turks, bulgarian Christians, bulgarian Muslims (pomaks) and Bulgarian roma people and they all consider themselves bulgarian and there has never been separatist movements, and everyone try to live peacefully with each other and respect the others traditions, religion, culture.

Not a good and ideal example.

    Cyprus is not the last divided capital in the world. If we arbitrarily accept Cyprus in Europe maybe Europe's last divided city. In this video, we see a romantic girl who has never had any wounds in her life except not to be able to get an ID of the de facto Greek Republic of Cyprus but only de jure the Republic of Cyprus just like de jure nonexistent but in reality de jure Turkish Republic of Cyprus. The problem itself is being created by Greek Cypriots who didn't have not or will not accept any Turkish identity and existence on the island. This is underlined by the stone cold words of the Greek lad in the video. He is very mature and as his education dictates he finds it absurd to pass to the northern Cyprus with id this actually means we Greek Cypriots own the island another thing he says is very impressive how he takes the matters as is that before Turkish Cypriots were talking in Greek so there was no problem :) as if it's something to stay away from. This is the most open minded Greek Cypriot youngster they found. There is a slide in this video as repeated many times the word occupation occupation occupation by the "so called" Turkish Cypriot girl! Kızım bubannar ananlar esir düştüler ölümlerden döndüler bir barış olacaksa bu iki tarafında kaybettiği bir anlaşma ile olur. Hiç birşey kaybetmeyi istemeyen bir Rum ile masaya oturulmaz.

    Hi, Cyprus is the world's last divided capital and Europe's last divided city. Going into the specifics of Sude's hardships in life is pointless to this video, which focuses on what growing up in Nicosia means on either side of the border. Orestis' perspective is precisely that: his perspective, and his experience. The Turkish presence is, as a matter of fact, an occupation, and we stand by that point.

As you are free to show the single facet of the video we viewers have the right to comment on its lacking qualities as I mentioned before, this occupation mentality of Greek Cypriots take us nowhere but the status quo.

    The path to any possible solution already passed away because the new generation does not know each other and the only motivation as we see here are not so logical for a lot of people both in the south or the north like getting an eu id or stroll to the north without any restrictions. Let's accept the fact that the majority of each side especially that of the South Greek side don't want any solution but want the whole island without any rights to the Turkish part and put them in a minority box. At this stage after many years that is not possible. The world is globalized the south Cyprus is not the same as it was before 1974. There are many immigrants expats Russians far easter countries migrated and even became citizens since this is done by distributing ids sometimes for a couple of millions sometimes by marriage sometimes by a process called naaturalisation it's ok but in the north people who turn their 3rd generations are occupiers. You know what the same hypocrisy as the world's another divided city in the world Jerusalem, Israelites jews and Palestinian Muslims, but in this scenario the minority is backed by a big country named Turkey so the majority in the island is not able to crush the Turkish minority that is the reason they hold grunge to Turkey. And ps: that is not related with occupation there are some brands like Gloria jeans coffee, burger king etc, the main reason there are not many European or American brands is because it's not profitable for them to open stores in a 1/3 (the north part) of the already 1 million in total island country rather they open one two stores in the south part

    Different people should never live together in the same home; they should rather be good respectful neighbours. If Cyprus ever reunited, conflict would return and people would kill each other just like they did in the 60s until 74. People with major differences such as language, faith, ideologies must be separated from each other. The Turkish speaking Cypriots should have a separate recognised entity, state or whatever as coexisting with Greek Cypriots is a dangerous recipe for future conflicts. It has never worked, what makes you think it can work now? Both communities would thrive as friendly neighbours, property issues can be settled internationally along with trade and security guarantees. Separation is a must, learn from the past and look ahead. New generations deserve better clarity away from political fantasies.
