Cyprus

The background of the flag is white that represents peace. In the middle, there is the map of the island that has the copper colour to represent the historical attachment of Cyprus to this metal. Under the island's map there are olive tree's branches. The branches of the olive tree represent peace as well.

"No problem!"

If you mean how do you say Good Afternoon in Cypriot, Cypriots speak a greek dialect and it is called "Kalispera" ("kaleespera")

The Cyprus island is located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.

Being an island, Cyprus isn't directly connected to any continent. It's politically part of Europe (Cyprus joined the EU in 2004), but its nearest large land mass is Asia (it's 75km from Turkey) and it's also close to Africa and the middle-east. Most Cypriots would probably say they were Europeans. Even examining the geology of Cyprus doesn't help much as its on the meeting point between two plates (African and Eurasian).
Cyprus is a part of Europe.

It's quite a journey! You need to catch a car ferry from Limassol, this can take you to Italy. You then have to cross Europe to one of the cross channel ferry ports and get a ferry to the UK.

Nicosia's population is estimated at 784,000

Some of them are the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Asinou Church, Kourin Archaeological Site, Choiroitia Neolithis Settlement, Agios Neofytos, Church of St. Lazarus (yes churches can be landmarks too), Limassol Castle.

The Trudos Mountains are a popular attraction, as are Paphos Mosaics.

The most common greeting is 'xerete', which kinda means 'hello' put in posh-talk. The second most common greeting is 'yia', which is short of 'yiasou'. This means both 'hello' and 'goodbye'. Merhaba, Selam or Hosgeldin are commonly used greetings in the Turkish Republic of Cyprus.

You also have greetings such as good morning, "Kalimera", good evening "Kalispera" and Good night, "Kalee neekhta".

But if you want to greet them with a 'Cyprian' way you will say 'Sheretume'!!!:p

Cyprus does not have its own national anthem. Cyprus uses the National Anthem of Greece and the National Anthem of Turkey.

Azerbaijan have won the competition once. This was in 2011 with the song "Running Scared" by Elle and Nikki.

Shakespeare's Othello.

No. Lady gaga was born in manhattan, and went to a cathloc all girls school growing up. But her background and her parents are from Italy.

There is a terrible storm which delays Othello but also destroys the Turkish fleet so he doesn't have to.

Yes

In 1974 Cyprus was an island nation with a democratically elected government and with a population of citizens of both Greek and Turkish origin. In 1974 the Cypriot National Guard overthrew the democratically elected government of Cyprus. Turkey claimed that the Cypriot National Guard was controlled by a Greek junta and that the governmental overthrow amounted to an "invasion" of Cyprus by Greece. Turkey then 'retaliated' (in support of the overthrown government) by invading Cyprus by land and naval forces which, in turn, brought full scale retaliation from Greece, which did likewise. I suppose it depends on which side you support as to which scenario you subscribe to.

---------------------------------------

However if you look at the BBC reports and go to the National History Library, you would see that the greek cypriots joined Greece in 1953 to try and take over the country.

The English government sent troops the keep the peace but they were also killed by the greek army from Greece who also over threw the priminister of Cyprus in order to take control.

Turkey entered the country to save the Turkish cypriots from being killed and as of today the northen side is still not allowed to trade and fund themselves unless Turkey keeps supporting them.

1963 a document was signed recognising 2 separate states which now the English and greek government ignores.

not sure but in 1955 i came across a beach littered with hundreds of british steel helmets.

796,740 people.

Just one. It has to be worth 42 cents. That is the rate for first class mail anywhere in the U.S. You can also use any combination of stamps that add up to 42 cents. Stamps come in many denominations from one cent on up. Asking "how many stamps" is like asking "how many coins for a candy bar?" It depends on the value of the coins.

The sun-drenched island of Cyprus has attracted tourists from the days when the Phoenicians reckoned this island of goddesses, wine and safe harbours was a great place to conquer! Both south and North Cyprus have something for every kind of tourist, from the sun-worshipping beach lover to the dedicated sightseer of ancient historical sites. Adventurous types can enjoy everything from scuba diving to paragliding, while those who like to rave until dawn can chill to their heart’s content. Personally, I recommend North Cyprus, because it’s much less developed than the south of the island, yet you can enjoy everything mentioned above - and more! The countryside is breathtaking, the beaches vast and uncrowded, and the prices cheaper. The Turkish Cypriot food is great, the people friendly and eager to speak English, and flights get cheaper by the week. What more do you want! The best web site on North Cyprus by far is http://www.cyprus44.com, packed with information and with links to cheap flights to North Cyprus too!
