Cyprus is a stunningly beautiful island, rich in natural resources, blessed with the inimitable Mediterranean climate and located close to the shores of Turkey.

Like any famous political personality he has two sides, one bright and one darker: The prominent Harvard Scholar, father of the so-called 'realpolitik' doctrine who became an expert in International Relati...

The Cypriot left would like to portray the Turkish Cypriots as helpless bystanders in the war crimes committed by the Turkish army against Greek Cypriots during the 1974 invasion of Cyprus; but the evidence shows that ordinary Turkish Cypriots enthusiastically and willingly participated in the rapes, massacres and looting that took place and that, indeed, the Turkish Cypriot demand for 'taksim' (partition) was predicated on the violent ethnic cleansing of Greek Cypriots.

The usurpation and exploitation of Greek land in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus reflects the greed and resentment of the Turkish Cypriots and defines, to a large extent, the Turkish occupation of the Greek island. However, it's also worth pointing out that supporting Turkish usurpation are a number of foreign companies, mostly from Israel and Britain.

The unhappy Turkish presence in Cyprus can be traced back to 1571, when invading Ottoman forces captured the island from Venice. Avaricious Turkey's seizure of Cyprus also provide the backdrop to Shakespeare's tragedy, Othello.

It is not clear at all what is happening with the latest Free Gaza expedition, which set off from Cyprus for Gaza on Monday, then returned within hours for "repairs. The expedition was reportedly warned by Israel that it intended to stop the voyage by all available means. The Free Gaza's new boat, the Spirit of Humanity, may or may not have set out again from Cyprus headed for Gaza on Tuesday evening, but with far fewer people on board.

Two ships chartered by the Free Gaza group of international activists have set off from Cyprus on Friday morning on what should be a 30-hour journey to the Gaza Strip. Their aim, they say, is to "break the siege" imposed by Israel on Gaza. Israel exerts full security control of Gaza's territorial waters -- and the Israeli government is facing a delicate dilemma concerning how to handle the situation. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has informed the Free Gaza group that it regards the expedition as a form of support for what it believes is a terrorist group, Hamas, now in control of the Gaza Strip. Israeli media reports indicate that the country's Navy has been ordered to stop the expedition.

The Cyprus issue has been a blatant case of invasion and occupation of a sovereign country. The international community failed to intervene, despite numerous UN Secu-rity Council Resolutions to reconstitute the status quo ante. On the contrary, it proved very active in the case of Kuwait, thus makin...
