Description

Cyprus -- an island that has always been a victim of external realpolitic. It still remains so today. The history of Cyprus is one of the oldest recorded in the world. From the earliest times Cyprus' historical significance far outweighed its small size. Its strategic position at the crossroads of three continents, as well as its considerable supplies of copper, other precious metals, and timber combines to make it a highly desirable territorial acquisition.
