      island of Cyprus has suffered a long history of foreign domination,
      violence, and civil strife.  Since the 1950s, when still a colony of
      Britain, Cyprus has been a battleground between its two main
      ethnic/religious populations---Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.  The
      history of the conflict includes a militant confrontation with British
      imperialism, a set of treaties giving a limited form of independence, the
      breakdown of that constitutional structure, ruthless meddling by the Greek
      and Turkish "motherlands" and the major powers, a Greek coup d'etat
      and the Turkish invasion that divided the island as it is today, and
      fitful attempts to negotiate a just settlement---all set against a
      background of communal violence, terrorism, and intimidation.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cyprus-conflict.net/www.cyprus-conflict.net/intro%20page.html">
      The history of the Cyprus conflict is rarely recounted in a balanced,
      informed way.  This Web site provides just such depth and
      balance.  It lays out the history using original documents, scholarly
      treatments, and other resources</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FCB0CAB5-4EB4-4802-B6F0-D909053A05B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
