Cyprus
Cyprus (Greek: Κύπρος, transliterated: Kıpros, IPA: [ˈkʲipɾo̞s]; Turkish: Kıbrıs), officially the Republic of Cyprus (Greek: Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία, Kypriakī́ Dīmokratía, [kʲipɾiaˈkʲi ğimo̞kɾaˈtia]; Turkish: Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti), is a Eurasian island country[6][7] in the Eastern Mediterranean, south of Turkey and west of Syria and Lebanon. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of its most popular tourist destinations.[8] A highly developed country,[9][10] the Republic of Cyprus was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement[11] until it joined the European Union on May 1, 2004.[12]
The island has known human activity since around the 10th millennium BC and contains the well-preserved Neolithic village of Choirokoitia, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Tombs of the Kings. It is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world,[13] and is the site of the earliest known example of feline-human association.[14][15] At a strategic location in the Middle East,[16][17][18][19] Cyprus has been occupied by several major powers, including the empires of the Hittites, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, and Ottomans. It was placed under British administration in 1878 until it was granted independence in 1960,[20] becoming a member of the Commonwealth the following year.
In 1974, following 11 years of intercommunal violence[21] and an attempted coup d'état by Greek Cypriot nationalists,[22][23] Turkey invaded and occupied the northern portion of the island. The Turkish invasion led to the displacement of thousands of Cypriots and the establishment of a separate Turkish Cypriot political entity in the north. This event and its resulting political situation are matters of ongoing dispute.
The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters except small portions that are allocated by treaty to the United Kingdom as sovereign military bases. The Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts, the area under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising about 59% of the island's area and the Turkish-occupied area in the north,[24] calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, covering about 37% of the island's area and recognized only by Turkey.
