Cyprus' Politics?

Question

1) What is Cyprus' stance on Kosovo's declaration of independence and does Cyprus have any ongoing internal separatist movements? (What are Cyrpus' interests?)

2) What is Cyrpus' stance on the accession of Islamic Turkey entering the EU? What is Cyprus' experience with a Muslim population?

For number 1, I believe that Cyprus is going through separatist movements with the split between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. But how was this caused and what would Cyprus feel about Kosovo's independence? Also what does the Cyprus government want most?

Would Cyprusa accede to the addition of Turkey into the EU? It's split into two very different societies in 1 country... there would be many disagreements.

THanks

Answer 1

1) Cyprus sees Kosovo's case as an indicator of their chances.

2) Cyprus has no say in Turkey's entry into EU really. They have been a point of contention between Greece and Turkey for centuries.

Cyprus has Christian and Muslim populations, but they get along here better than most places
