Lawrence Stevenson served two tours of Cyprus as a United Nations peacekeeper during the 1970s and 1980s, and saw an island at war with itself with no hope of resolution in sight.


Those experiences, and Cyprus’s intractable division between East and West, haunted him deep into adulthood. Now, fifty years later, he returns to the tiny island in the Eastern Mediterranean as its chances of a peaceful reunification are fast running out. Relying on his own insights and research, as well as interviews with a diverse lot of international lawyers, UN officials, politicians, and Cypriots, Stevenson and his daughter Glynnis, a historian, reflect on how the island came to its impasse, and why the UN, the EU, the US, and the UK have failed to return it to peace. With a fair-minded appraisal of the wrongs committed and suffered by both sides and a clear-eyed sense of diplomatic possibilities, Lawrence and Glynnis outline the only remaining option available for those who wish Cyprus reunited under one government. It is an option they passionately endorse, not only for the sake of the Cypriots, but as a rare example of peaceful co-existence in an increasingly fractured world.

Bottom line: most of the Greeks don't like the Turks. They lived together in their own areas. Turkey got involved to protect the Turkish Cypriots from Greek Cypriots. Numerous attempts to resolve. Turkish willing to negotiate but Greeks refused thinking they could get further concessions later. Lose lose situation. History passed down by Greeks one sided.... were the Turkish people supposed to allow massacres of their people? Now Turkish immigrants wont leave and families have settled there due to the need for military troops. Why would UN accept Greek Cypriots and not Turkish Cypriots? This will never be resolved. Too much hate and history.
