Best Answer

You could say that Cypriots are Asians or Europeans. You could say Europeans as Cyprus is part of the EU but I would go for Asians or Middle Eastern as Geographically Cyprus is in the Middle East next to Turkey Syria and Lebanon. Also both Greek and Turkish Cypriot culture share many similarities with Arab/Middle Eastern culture such as the dancing, food, music and even the people look the same. And as a Greek Cypriot myslef I would prefer to be called Middle Eastern rather than European. :)
