There are no borders in Cyprus. 37% of the land, specifically the northern part of the land are ILLEGALY occupied by the Turkish army after the turkish invasion of 1974. Years later, a political leader there self-proclaimed the occupied land as an independant nation, which is of course not true, not recognised by any country besides Turkey and illegal.

What are the borders of Cyprus?

The official borders of Cyprus lie in the Mediterranean sea, at the edge of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This is based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, and extends to halfway between the island of Cyprus and its near neighbours, or if there is no near neighbour (as in the western coast) up to a maxiumum of 200 miles offshore. In terms of its de facto borders, the UNFICYP ceasefire line that divides the island between northeast and southwest forms the border between Turkish-Occupied Northern Cyprus and Independent Cyprus. Additionally, Cyprus has borders with the two UK-manned bases of Akotiri and Dhelika on the island.

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.
