http://agrino.org/cyprusstamps/html/history.html

Extractions: Cyprus is the third largest island in the east Mediterranean Sea, some 47 miles from the southern coastline of Turkey. The Republic of Cyprus is a member of the United Nations Organisation (UN) and Council of Europe and has a business relationship with the European Community (EC). It is also a member of the British Commonwealth. Of the population of 702,000, 80 per cent are of Greek origin and fewer than 20 per cent of Turkish origin. Because of its geographical position, Cyprus has seen many invasions. The oldest known settlement in Cyprus dates from the Neolithic Age (7000-3900 BC). During the 14th century BC, Mycenean and Achaean Greeks reached the island and during the 12th and 11th centuries BC Achaean Greeks settled on the island, bringing with them the Greek language, religion and customs. From the 8th century BC, Cyprus fell prey to several conquerors: the Assyrians (708 BC), the Egyptians (560 BC) and the Persians (385 BC). Following Alexander the Great's defeat of Persia at the Battle of Issos in 333BC, Cyprus became part of his empire. After the death of Alexander, the island came under the influence of the Hellenistic state of the Ptolemies of Egypt. Under the Ptolemies, the island's culture, shipping, commerce and architecture thrived. The Ptolemaic period was ended by annexation by the Romans in 58 BC. The single most important event during Roman rule was the introduction of Christianity during the reign of the Emperor Claudius. After the division of the Roman Empire into two parts, Cyprus became part of the Byzantine Empire under the rule of Constantine the Great. The Byzantine period saw a series of Arab raids beginning in the first part of the seventh century. These raids shattered the peaceful life of the islanders and did not cease until the Arabs were decisively defeated by Nicephorus Fokas in AD 965.

Extractions: Established in 1951 as the Conservative answer to "Intellectual Socialism" and the Fabian Society, the Bow Group took its name from the Bow and Bromley Constitutional Club in London where the first meeting was held. Founder-members were included Sir Geoffrey Howe, Britain's present Foreign Secretary. Now in its 35th year, the Bow Group has approximately 900 members, mainly graduates and all selected by interview. Today nearly 100 members are in Parliament, including the Leader of the House of Commons, John Biffen; Energy Secretary Peter Walker; former Home Secretary Leon Brittan and former Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine. The Bow Group is considered somewhat of a proving ground for prospective MPs and rising Parliamentary stars. At the 1983 General Election 24 members of the Group were newly elected to Parliament, and other members serve as Members of the European Parliament and as Councilors in Local Government.

http://faculty.menlo.edu:8080/~jhiggins/tcvoices/bowpart1.html

Extractions: BOW EDUCATIONAL BRIEFING No.5 PART I: British foreign policy has two principal aims; to maintain the security of the British Isles, and to protect and enhance British trading interests. Allied to these aims, and indirectly supportive of them, is concern beyond our shores for justice and the rule of law, protection of human rights, and the promotion of mutual respect and understanding between peoples. Each of these factors applies in a greater or lesser degree to the island of Cyprus. The Eastern Mediterranean is important to Britain's security, in relation both to the Southern flank of NATO and to the situation in Iran and the Middle East. British trading interests, whilst small in Cyprus itself, require stability in the Region. Violations of human rights and breakdown of respect and understanding between peoples in the Region threaten both of Britain's principal foreign policy interests. Finally, Britain has residual legal rights and obligations relating to the island. A Prisoner of History Like that other island across the Irish Sea, Cyprus is a prisoner of its history. Its present is conditioned by its past, and there is a grave danger that unless there is wisdom and imagination in the management of its affairs its future will be fettered too. Everyone who wishes the people of Cyprus well prefers to look to the future, but the past is littered with well-intentioned mistakes, and they will be repeated yet again if account is not taken of the lessons of past failures. It is therefore necessary to look in some detail at the reasons why the present situation has arisen.

Contact with the Middle East and, after 1500 B.C. , with Greece greatly influenced Cypriot civilization. Phoenicians settled on the island c.800 B.C. Cyprus subsequently fell under Assyrian, Egyptian, and Persian rule. Alexander the Great conquered it in 333 B.C. , after which the island again became an Egyptian dependency until its annexation by Rome in 58 B.C. Ancient Cyprus was a center of the cult of Aphrodite. After A.D. 395, Cyprus was ruled by the Byzantines until 1191, when Richard I of England conquered it. In 1192, Richard bestowed the island on Guy of Lusignan . In 1489, Cyprus was annexed by Venice. The Turks conquered it in 1571. At the Congress of Berlin (1878) the Ottoman Empire placed Cyprus under British administration, and in 1914, Britain annexed it outright.

Therefore, by having Turkey, Greece, and Great Britain as the guarantor powers, the International Treaties of 1960, named the Republic of Cyprus , and gave Cyprus its independence from Great Britain . It was thought to be a good compromise as it guaranteed a permanent settlement. It is the London-Zurich Treaties of February 1959, which gave Cyprus its independence but still it was not a full one. It guaranteed that the two communities should be co-founder partners with equal political rights; that communal matters would be in the autonomous domain of elected communal chambers; that there would be no fear and no likelihood of one community dominating the other.
