Religion.Cyprus enjoys an exceedingly high level of freedom of worship. While the majority of Greek-Cypriots are Greek Orthodox Christians, other denominations are represented on the island, including Armenians, Maronites and Roman Catholics. The Turkish-Cypriot community is predominantly Muslim.

The history of Cyprus is among the oldest in the world. The first signs of civilization traced in archaeological excavations and research, date back 11.000 years to the 9th millennium BC.The discovery of copper in Cyrus in the 3rd millennium BC brought wealth to the island and attracted trade from its neighbors. Yet, although geographically placed at the crossroads of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - and a meeting point of great world civilizations, Cyprus has developed and for centuries maintained, its own civilisation.The Mycenaean and Achaean Greeks settled on the island between the 13th and 11th century BC. They introduced the Greek language and culture, both of which are preserved by Greek Cypriots to this day.At the end of the 4th century BC Cyprus became part of the kingdom of Alexander the Great. The Hellenistic period ended in 30 BC when Cyprus became part of Roman Empire until the 4th century AD. In 330 AD Cyprus formed part of the Eastern Section of the Roman Empire and later of the Byzantine Empire, and remained so until the 12th century AD. During the Crusades was conquered by Richard the Lion heart followed by the Lasagnas and the Venetians.

In 1571 Cyprus was conquered by the Ottomans and in 1878 it was ceded to Britain. In 1914 Britain annexed the island and in 1923, under the Treaty of Lausanne, Turkey relinquished all claims on the island. In 1925 Britain declared Cyprus a crown colony. In 1955 the Greek Cypriots launched a liberation struggle against British rule and the island won its independence in 1960. The Turkish invasion, launched on 1974, resulted in the occupation of 40% of the island's territory and about 200.000 Greek Cypriots were displaced.
