Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean, with an area of about 9,250 square kilometers and a population of about 654.38+200,000. Cyprus is geographically divided into Greek-speaking areas and Turkish-speaking areas, of which Greek-speaking areas are the main part. Cyprus has a long history and has been an important traffic artery in the eastern Mediterranean since ancient times.

Historically, it was ruled by many empires and countries such as ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantine Empire, Crusaders and Ottoman Empire. After independence, the division and conflict between Greece and Turkey in Cyprus led to 1974 when Turkish troops occupied the Turkish-speaking area in the northern part of the island and declared the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Cyprus.

Regional disputes and natural resources in Cyprus;

The Cyprus problem has long been one of the focuses in the region. The split situation on the island led to the southern part of Cyprus becoming the control area of the Republic of Cyprus, while the northern part was controlled by the Turkish Republic of Cyprus. The international community has been working hard to promote reconciliation between the two sides and restart the reunification process. In recent years, through continuous negotiations and diplomatic efforts, the two sides in Cyprus have made some progress, but they still face many challenges.

As an important island country in the Mediterranean region, Cyprus is rich in natural resources. The most important of these are oil and natural gas. According to the exploration results in recent years, a large number of natural gas and oil reserves have been discovered in the coastal waters of Cyprus, which is considered as a potential energy-rich country. This has aroused the interest of international investors, hoping for deeper exploration and development.
