∙ 11y agoHowever, the country of Cyprus is made up of Greek and Turkish individuals. The northern half of the island is also occupied by Turkey. However, Cyprus and Greece are two distinct independent countries. (The process of Enosis - Greek Unification - in 1974 was halted by the Turkish invasion in the same year.)

What 2 countries claim to own parts of Cyprus?
OK, let me get this straight, i am a Turkish Cypriot so that means Turkey owns 1 half of Cyprus, the other half is owned by the Greek Cypriots which i have a lot of respect for because if it wasn't for them Cyprus wouldn't be what it is today. Originally the first country to occupied Cyprus was the Turkish people, they then settled about 100 years ago and created their own culture because they did not think of themselves as Turkish Cypriot's, they thought of themselves as just Cypriots. Then the Greeks invaded and the Turks and Greeks had a war over who claims Cyprus, in the end they ended up sharing Cyprus. About 30 years ago Cyprus was literally divided in half, one for the Turkish Cypriots and one for the Greek Cypriots. In 1971,or sometime then, the government decided it was unfair that the Turkish Cypriots could not mix with the Greek Cypriots so now we live together as one big family in perfect harmony and Greek Cypriots speak Turkish and Turkish Cypriots speak Greek.

Who rules Cyprus today?
Before we go forward, keep in mind that this is a very thorny issue-nations have gone to war over this. I don't have any particular feelings on the issue, so I'll try and stay as neutral as possible. The island of Crete has two major ethnic and cultural groupings: Greek Cypriots, and Turkish Cypriots. The two groups have experienced tensions and inter-communal violence, and Greece and Turkey have become involved in ways that have nearly brought the two countries (on paper, allies as members of NATO) to open warfare several times. At present, five entities control or have claims to parts of the island: Turkey, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the Republic of Cyprus, the British Royal Air Force, and the United Nations. Turkish troops invaded the island in 1974, in response to a planned pro-Greek coup in the Cyprus government, and Turkey has since maintained a large number of troops in the northern third of the island, governed by the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus", a government only recognized by Turkey. Most other states consider this an occupation of Cyprus' territory. The southern portion of the island is controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, which is mostly Greek Cypriot, and recognized by most other countries as the official rulers of the island. Separating the two Cypruses is a United Nations-controlled buffer zone called the Green Line, a demilitarized zone intended to keep the combatants separated. The line divides Nicosia, the largest city on the island, and claimed as the capital of both Republics. The United Kingdom also controls two areas in the southwest portion of the island, Akrotiri and Dhekelia. These areas were leased to the British as Royal Air Force bases after decolonization. (Cyprus was a British colony until 1960.)

Beside that, Turkish government claims that Syrian Government is not legal and Turkey is supporting the militias against Syria. Turkey has no diplomatic relations with Armenia and Cyprus. Turkey is the only one country who recognizes the de-facto state Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and it does not recognize Republic of Cyprus. With Greece, Turkey has problems about the sea border on Aegean Sea.With the Iraq Federal Government, Turkey has also have problems even Turkey has good relationship with Iraqi Kurdistan Government.Officially Taliban Government of Afghanistan is the only one enemy "country" of Turkey.
