賽普勒斯共和國

地中海東部的一個島國,國際普遍承認賽普勒斯擁有整個島嶼主權,但實際上北邊由土耳其支持的北賽普勒斯土耳其共和國實質佔領,賽普勒斯政府有效統治區域僅佔全島面積63%,中間4%則是聯合國緩衝區。賽普勒斯一直是地中海的主要旅遊目的地,人類發展指數全球排名33,人均GDP和台灣差不多。俄烏戰爭爆發,賽普勒斯是少數維持中立的地中海國家。主要是因為1970年代中期土耳其軍隊入侵時,北約並沒有出手相救,所以賽普勒斯並不親近北約。但賽普勒斯也不是不想和西方國家當朋友,它和英美兩國關係持續升溫,還讓英國在島上設軍事基地。

The Republic of Cyprus is an island nation east of the Mediterranean Sea. Sitting on the main Eurasia pathway into the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus has experienced many foreign invasions or occupations for thousands of years. Since its independence from the UK in 1960, officially sovereignty covers the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, but in reality, the north is de facto occupied by the Turkish backed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and the area effectively ruled by the government of Cyprus accounts for only 63% of the entire island. Northern and southern Cyprus is currently still divided.
