Cyprus has been a divided nation since 1974, when the Turkish Army invaded during July and August. This happened due to a coup by extreme right-wing military officers, who overthrew the democratically-elected Government of President Makarios and imposed a military Dictatorship, whose aim was to expel or exterminate the island's ethnic Turk population. Turkey then stepped in to protect the Turkish people.
