Abstract

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Cyprus conflict remains one of the great puzzles in international conflict resolution. In thirty-eight years of UN peacemaking efforts, the only tangible results are two agreements of the late 1970s, in which the two Cypriot communities—Greek and Turkish—agreed to a bi-communal federation as the future political set-up in Cyprus.1 While these agreements have become the cornerstone of all subsequent rounds of negotiations, political developments on the island have de facto undermined them. Since 1983 two Cypriot entities have existed alongside each other, both of which have the essential characteristics of a state: a territory, a people, and a government. However, only the Greek Cypriot entity is internationally recognised.
