About Cyprus |
 |
|
Cyprus is a small island, located in the eastern
Mediterranean, between the continents of Europe,
Asia, and Africa. It covers an area of
2571 square miles and has a population of
736,000.
Cyprus became independent in 1960, but in 1974 a
Turkish invasion forced the |
population to move to the south part of
the island leaving 36% of the land occupied by
Turkish forces.
Although Cyprus was initially an agricultural
country with almost 50% of the population working on
the land, today only 20% is engaged in agriculture.
The textile, tobacco and foodstuffs industry, and
building and civil engineering, form a large part of
the country�s economy. The major sector of the
Cyprus industry is the services sector, with 40% of
the working population occupied in this industry.
Tourism and banking are two of the leading areas.
Cyprus is a full member of the European Union.
