Cyprus  

Definition

  • Cyprus is an island divided; the northern third of the island is Turkish in ethnicity and Islamic in religion, while the larger Greek south is dominated by the Church of Cyprus, an autocephalous institution based on Greek Orthodoxy. The two regions are governed separately and generally treated separately by sociologists. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Cyprus]
