Useful Statistics
Located at the heart of the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus has a landmass of 9,251 square kilometers (3,572 square miles). Population in 1994: 730,000.
The island is demographically diverse, with 77% of the population Greek Cypriots, 18% Turkish Cypriots, and the remainder Maronites, Armenians, Latins and others.
The largest towns are Nicosia (Lefkosia) with a population of 186,000; Limassol (Lemesos) with 143,000; Larnaka with 64,000; Paphos with 34,000.

Government
Cyprus, an independent sovereign republic, has a presidential system of democratic government. Free elections are held every five years for the election of President and Members of Parliament. Over 23 years ago, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus, resulting in 37% of the island coming under Turkish occupation. This event was accompanied by the displacement of 200,000 Greek Cypriots, one third of the population, and damage to monuments and antiquities that were part of the Cypriot culture. A series of U.N. General Assembly resolutions have condemned the invasion. A solution has yet to be found, despite a series of talks held since 1975.
Greek is the main language of Cyprus, but English is spoken almost everywhere.
