Turkey Adds Fuel to the Cyprus Problem, Impacting Expats' Lives
Expats living in Northern Cyprus are more likely to have chosen their side of the island carefully. They will not have arrived on their chosen part of the island without some research into the Cyprus problem, and some understanding of the ongoing politics and heightened emotions and memories that keep this beautiful Mediterranean island divided.
Expats living in Southern Cyprus however, often arrive with no notion of a divided Cyprus, content to live on an island that they believe is wholly under Greek Cypriot ownership…such is the strength of the Greek Cypriot voice on the international stage.
The reality is of course that Cyprus is a divided island – two thirds are under Greek Cypriot control, one third is under the control of the Turkish Cypriots. And now that Turkey has poured more fuel onto the already long-burning fires of hatred and resentment in Cyprus, long may the Cyprus problem endure, and long may expats’ lives on the island be impacted…whether they’re aware of it or not.
