More about Cyprus

Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided de facto into the Cyprus government-controlled area in the southern part of the island, officially named the Republic of Cyprus, and the Turkish Cypriot area in the north. The Republic of Cyprus and Turkish Cypriots have a complex and often strained relationship due to the ongoing Cyprus dispute.
A United Nations peacekeeping force (UNFICYP) maintaines a buffer zone between both territoriies. UNFICYP was established in 1964 to prevent a recurrence of fighting between Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots. The mandate for UNFICYP was last renewed on 31 January 2019 and extends until 31 July 2019. ^{[1] [2]}

Furthermore, there are two small British Overseas Territories on the island, Akrotiri and Dhekelia; they are administered as Sovereign Base Areas (S.B.A.) of the United Kingdom. They are small remnants of British occupation of the island from 1878 to 1960.

Administrative divisions

Cyprus is divided into six districts: Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos in the Republic of Cyprus, and Famagusta and Kyrenia in the Northern Cyprus-controlled areas.
