Cyprus News: The third largest Mediterranean island of Cyprus is a popular tourist destination attracting about 2.4 million tourists annually. Cyprus is traditionally marked as the birthplace of the Aphrodite, the Greek love goddess and has been ruled by number of kingdoms successively. Cyprus was colonised by Britain in 1914 and gained independence only in 1960, however the scent of fresh freedom was short lived as the country soon came in the grip of ethnic tensions between the ethnic Greeks and the Turks. Greece-backed military junta tried to annex Cyprus in 1974 following which Turkey invaded and occupied northern Cyprus, while the remaining southern two third?s is called the Republic of Cyprus or simply Cyprus. The country joined the EU in 2004 and adopted the Euro in 2008.
