Description
This policy analysis presents a critical assessment of the Cyprus problem, challenging common misconceptions about the conflict's timeline and division of the island, examining historical facts about inter-communal violence dating back to 1958, and presenting arguments for why EU membership of the Republic of Cyprus as the sole representative of the entire island complicated resolution efforts.
