Date: 2024-03-09

This video delves into Cyprus, exploring its divided geography, tumultuous history, and cultural richness. Cyprus, an island with beautiful coastlines and mountains, is politically divided, with the northern third controlled by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the southern two-thirds forming the Republic of Cyprus. Historically, it has been influenced by Greek and Ottoman rule, and suffered from ethnic tensions leading to its division in 1974. The population is mainly Greek Cypriots in the south and Turkish Cypriots in the north, each with distinct cultural and religious backgrounds. Politically, Cyprus is significant in the Eastern Mediterranean but plagued by unresolved issues between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The culture reflects a blend of influences, showcased in its art, music, and cuisine, including iconic dishes like Souvla and Mahallepi.
