The Cyprus conflict remains one of the long-lasting unresolved issues of the international community. This conflict has cost both the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots in terms of lives, orphaned children, economic loss and psychological destruction.
The events that led to the division of the island in 1974 continue to be the subject of intense debate. Over the past four decades the Cyprus issue has been addressed by many UN Security Council resolutions and conflict-resolution efforts which have so far been unable to resolve the problem.
