Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. After Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. While the island lies close to the Middle East, because of its large Greek population, it is considered to be a European country and is a member of the European Union.
Cyprus is a divided nation with the eastern and more southern part of the island, which is under Greek Cypriot control, known as the Republic of Cyprus, while the the Turkish Cypriot area, in the northern and western part of the island, refers to itself as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The United Nations operates a peacekeeping force on the island between the two Cypriot ethnic groups. (Description by Wikipedia.org)
