Abstract

The island of Cyprus was geographically divided into two in 1974 after a Turkish military operation that sought to prevent a Greek coup, which attempted to unite the island with Greece. Following a population exchange agreement in 1975, the population of the northern part of the island ethnic-wise became even more predominantly Turkish Cypriot, while the south became even more solidly Greek Cypriot.
