مستخلص: The COVID-19 pandemic has hit many regions, including the Eastern Mediterranean. It has profoundly affected Cypriot communities and caused political, economic, and social consequences. The profile article aims to investigate the relationship between the pandemic threat on the island and decisions made by the Greek and Turkish Cypriot administrations. What aspects and to what extent has the pandemic affected relations between the two Cypriot communities? How have these changes influenced the bilateral dialogue and political decisions made by the Greek and Turkish Cypriot administrations? Is the pandemic conducive to developing cooperation, or does it extend existing divisions? The profile article argues a relationship between the emergence of the pandemic and the re-isolation of both Cypriot communities, which is one of its consequences, and the initiatives to resolve the Cypriot conflict by sanctioning the existence of two independent states. Such a change is noticeable, especially in the Turkish Cypriots, owing to the presidential election, the government crisis, and interference by Turkish authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: This article discusses the confrontation between Greeks of Cyprus (GoC) and Turks of Cyprus (ToC) in the Legislative Council of Cyprus regarding the issue of the Enosis (Union) and the changes of content since 1902. The question arises, yet to a limited extent, during the period 1902–1914, given the formal subordination of Cyprus to the Ottoman Empire. From 1915 to 1918, due to the placement of the Ottoman Empire on the side of Britain's opponents and the participation of Greece within the Entente front, the Greek pressure on the British became very intense, while the Turkish were in a defensive position. In the period from 1918 to 1930, the main argument of the ToC was that even Greece no longer raised the issue of Enosis. Finally, in 1931, the GoC raised the issue urgently facing the strong reaction both of the ToC, as well as the British. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات جغرافية: CYPRUS

مستخلص: One of the many dimensions of the global tussle surrounding the Covid‐19 pandemic has been the rise of right‐wing radicalization. In this article, we investigate whether the pandemic offered an opportunity for the Greek Cypriot far‐right party, ELAM, to increase its visibility as an opposition force and in what ways. We also explore the transformations in populist rhetoric and practices in the Republic of Cyprus, seeking to identify patterns of persistence and evolution, particularly in how they handle scientific matters in their political stances. Similarly, we delve into the impact of far‐right populist politics on the political dynamics in Cyprus. Our findings indicate that pandemic politics were not the exclusive or primary factor in the normalization of the far right but rather served as an accelerator of preexisting trends. The party's handling of the pandemic and scientific principles signifies the diversity within the far‐right phenomenon rather than pointing to a universal pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: The National Hellenic Research Foundation has recently published two books in their Sources of Cypriot Learning and History series, which aim to make early modern Cypriot texts more accessible to scholars and students. The first book, edited by Paschalis M. Kitromilides, focuses on a collection of 156 poems from the 16th century. The second book, edited by Marina Rodosthenous-Balafa, provides scholarly studies that analyze and provide context for the collection. These publications offer valuable resources for scholars studying early modern Cypriot literature. Additionally, the author of this text has published and will soon publish various studies on topics related to British philhellenism, Dionysios Solomos, Adamantios Koraïs, eighteenth-century aesthetics and rhetoric, and Early Modern Cypriot poetry, which may be of interest to library patrons conducting research on these specific topics.

مصطلحات جغرافية: CYPRUS

مستخلص: Cyprus was conquered from several populations because of its special geographical location. In this study, 406 unrelated Cypriot samples were tested based on their mitochondrial DNA. In more detail, 185 were Greek Cypriots, 114 Armenian Cypriots and 107 Maronite Cypriots. This is the first time where the mitochondrial DNA of Greek Cypriots, Armenian Cypriots and Maronite Cypriots is compared with the aim of characterizing the maternal ancestry of Cypriots. The control region of the mtDNA is the most informative in terms of studying maternal ancestry and consists of three hypervariable regions (HVS-I, HVS-II, HVS-III). The hypervariable regions can provide important information regarding the maternal ancestor of the tested samples. The entire control region of the mtDNA was used to determine the mitotypes and subsequently the haplogroups of all the Cypriot DNA samples. Based on the aforementioned analyses, Greek Cypriots were found to be genetically closer to Armenian Cypriots, while Greek Cypriots and Armenian Cypriots showed moderate genetic differentiation with Maronite Cypriots. The most prevalent haplogroups among Cypriots were haplogroups H and U, while R0 is common but in different frequencies for Greek Cypriots, Armenian Cypriots and Maronite Cypriots. It is proposed that the maternal ancestor may have originated during the Neolithic period and/or the Bronze age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات جغرافية: CYPRUS, TURKEY

مستخلص: This paper focuses on the Dawn Watch commemoration in northern Cyprus that has been organised since 2010 to mark the anniversary of Turkey's military operation/invasion on 20 July 1974. I argue that the Dawn Watch utilises the innovative ritual practice of 'keeping watch' to subjectivise participating Turkish Cypriots as the 'guards/watchmen' who have made Turkey's military presence in Cyprus possible. This novel commemoration seeks to address growing disinterest in Turkish nationalist narratives and commemorations in northern Cyprus, which conventionally reduce Turkish Cypriots to historically unimportant figures who were merely 'liberated' by Turkey. By adopting the innovative ritual practice of 'keeping watch', the Dawn Watch provides participants with a new way of participating in an old nationalist narrative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: *CYPRIOTS, *COLD War, 1945-1991, *COMMUNIST parties

مستخلص: Unlike other countries where the Left remained electorally marginal and marked by introversion and fragmentation, the Cypriot communist party AKEL consistently dominated the Cypriot Left bloc. AKEL is here placed in context by looking the way it developed its arguably peculiar (communist) organizational and ideological identity through an inward looking emphasizing three important intra-party crises in a period extending from the early 1920s until the end of the Cold War. Notwithstanding (external) environmental influences, this article focuses on the intra-party level and the struggle amongst competing intra-party groups, identifying the main issues of controversy, the opposing actors and the outcome of each crisis. It is hereby argued that party choices were at least equally informed by the outcome of intra-party tensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: *GREEK Cypriots, *RECIPROCITY (Psychology), *NINETEENTH century, *WORLD War II, *PARADOX

مستخلص: In the context of Hobsbawm's thesis about the nineteenth‐century law of progress, the author studies Kollár's and Štúr's conception of Slavic reciprocity, which he compares with the Greek Great Idea (Megali Idea) and the Greek‐Cypriot idea of enosis. He came to the conclusion that there is greater similarity, especially between Štúr's conception and enosis, since they both required state‐political as well as territorial unification of Slavs or Greeks, unlike Kollár's conception, which was, rather, a cultural and literary reciprocity project. As a historical paradox, the author considers the fact that the practical and feasible conception of enosis was never carried out, while Kollár's theoretical conception and Štúr's highly unlikely model became, in a modified form, a reality after the First and Second World Wars.
