Synopsis

When Archbishop Makarios was toppled as President of Cyprus in a 1974 coup, and Turkish forces invaded the island, few saw Cyprus as part of the incipient drive to create a new Europe. Yet, as the authors reveal here, behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus’s problems lies within the gift of Europe. They argue that the intercommunal stand-off can only be diffused and ultimately resolved by firmly embedding Cyprus within Europe.
