ESSAY ON: Cyprus

Number of Pages 15

This research paper: 15 pages in length. Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1960 accompanied by constitutional guarantees supported by the Greek Cypriot majority to the Turkish Cypriot minority. An attempted Greek-endorsed seizure in 1974 met Turkish opposition, a military move that culminated in Turkey's control of nearly forty percent of the island located in the Mediterranean Sea; a short nine years later found it renamed to Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Nearly two decades later, United Nations talks continued as a means by which to definitively determine Cyprus' status and prepare the ground for meaningful negotiations leading to a comprehensive settlement. The writer discusses nationalism, architecture and cultural development as they relate to Cyprus. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
