The Economist: Cyprus Solution Remains Unlikely
The world-renowned magazine The Economist has spotlighted the 50th anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation, commenting that a solution for Cyprus remains a distant possibility. Reflecting on the island's division, The Economist noted that a solution is still unlikely.
The magazine detailed Cyprus's history, stating, "After gaining independence from Britain in 1960, Cyprus began experiencing disputes between its predominantly Greek southern part and largely Turkish northern part."
Recalling the events of 1963 when violence erupted in the capital, Nicosia, leading the United Nations to deploy peacekeeping forces to Cyprus, The Economist highlighted the turning point in 1974. "In 1974, the junta in Greece attempted to unite Cyprus with Greece by overthrowing the island's president. This led to Turkey's intervention on July 20, resulting in the control of just over a third of the island," the magazine explained.
The Economist further remarked, "Over time, the Turkish part, separated from the Greek part by a UN-administered buffer zone, became the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), recognized only by Turkey."
