Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Embracing Cyprus is a highly readable book written by a charismatic protagonist of the events that marked Cyprus's European Union membership. It should be translated immediately into Turkish and Greek, thus becoming accessible to all, because it is a book that challenges the half-truths that so many of us have held dear.' -Vassilis Fouskas, The Cyprus Review 'Given the latest development and the sensitivities surrounding Cyprus' entry into the European Club, this is clearly a book of major importance and topicality' -Eleftheria newspaper, 17/4/2003

Reseña del editor:

When Archbishop Makarios was toppled as President of Cyprus in a 1974 coup, and Turkish forces invaded the island, few saw Cyprus as part of the incipient drive to create a new Europe. Yet, as Pauline Green reveals here, behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus' problems lies within the gift of Europe. And yet the problems remain knotty - not least because of the highly sensitive and little-discussed role of the British military bases on the island, whose security and intelligence-gathering functions are so crucial to UK and US interests in the region. The author's analysis should interest those concerned not only with the future of Cyprus, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, but also with the fate of the European Union itself.
