DIVIDED ISLAND

The Cyprus Mail, with its expert writers and extensive archive material, marks the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion and coup with a revamped version of its special section Divided Island.
Divided Island provides a comprehensive background briefing on the steps leading up to the invasion and the tortuous efforts to reunify the island since 1974.
There are profiles of the main players in the current negotiations and of those involved in previous settlement attempts.
There are concise, factual guides to earlier peace plans, a useful chronology of events going back to 1955, maps, features and a selection of comment pieces.
You will also see photographs of Varosha before and after it became the world’s biggest ghost town plus a video of the Nicosia International Airport.
