Cyprus

Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily and Sardinia, located in Southwest Asia. The Republic of Cyprus de jure administers the entire island except for the base areas affiliated with the United Kingdom, and de facto administers the southern 59% of the island. In the 36% region in the north of the island, which has been de facto divided into two since 1974, there is the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognized only by Türkiye today.
