Turkey

At the same moment Turkey has quarrels-disputes with its neighbors. I would like to discuss two of these problems. One of the disputes will be the Cyprus question with Greece. Cyprus, an island in the Eastern Mediterranean, at the crossroads of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa. Its strategic position, its wealth in forests and mineral deposits, as well as its skilled craftsmen, made it the prized possession of the powers of the day. "Cyprus has been conquered and governed by various nations in its history as a result of its strategic location in the eastern Mediterranean. Among these were the Egyptians, Assyrians, Byzantines, Lusignans, Venetians, Ottomans, and the British. When the island gained its independence from the British in 1960, a partnership government was established between the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities of the island" (http://www.turkishforum.com/cyprus/the_cyprus_question.baysal.html).

In the meantime Turkey surrendered all claim on Cyprus with the Lausanne Treaty it concluded with Greece in 1923. Over the first three years of independence relations between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots deteriorated. "Since the Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1820's, the people who call themselve


In 1974 Turkey invaded the island, claiming this was to restore constitutional order. However, when the rightful government was restored, Turkish troops stayed on, implementing a long-held policy of partitioning the island. They went on to occupy more than a third of Cyprus. They forced people to loose their homes and become refugees. "The area under Turkish occupation unilaterally declared independence in 1983, an act condemned by the UN and other international organizations. No country in the world other than Turkey has recognized this illegal state" (http://www.pio.gov.cy/docs/euro/european_union/commission/reg_rep1998/a1_2.htm)

These are not the only problems, which Turkey has. Here are the major problems this country is experiencing at the moment: "complex maritime, air, and territorial disputes with Greece in Aegean Sea; Cyprus question with Greece; dispute with downstream riparian states (Syria and Iraq) over water development plans for the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; traditional demands regarding former Armenian lands in Turkey have subsided; Turkey is quick to rebuff any perceived Syrian claim to Hatay province; border with Armenia remains closed over Nagorno-Karabakh dispute" (http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/tu.html).

These circumstances in the state of Turkey have also hurt her chances of ever joining the ever-wealthy European Union and battering its ailing economic situation.
