Cyprus is a part of Greece but because of distance it is differentiated and it was captured by England years ago. That's why they have right-driven cars and pounds. Although we speak the same language and we have the same beliefs. We have very good relationships with Cyprus and we support them. Turks have also taken the half Cyprus with violence

Cyprus is not part of any other nation, it is an independent country in it's own right. However, it is a divided nation following the Turkish invasion of 1974, with the Northern half of the island being under Turkish control and the South being mainly Greek. The two sides are seperated by a UN-controlled buffer zone.

Some Greek or Turkish Cypriots want their part of the island to be united with either mainland Greece or mainland Turkey, and to become an integral part of those nations- the Greeks call this 'enosis' which means 'union'.

Yes, although there is a little complication as the northern part of Cyprus is occupied by Turkey and is the self-declared Turkish Republic of Cyprus.

Cyprus itself IS a country. An island in the Mediterranean Sea

However, if you really must know, it's below Turkey, west of Syria.

The capital is Nicosia.
