Cyprus (i/ˈsaɪprəs/; Greek: Κύπρος [ˈcipros]; Turkish: Kıbrıs [ˈkɯbɾɯs]), officially the Republic of Cyprus (Greek: Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία; Turkish: Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti), is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, off the coasts of Syria and Turkey. Cyprus is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean, and a member state of the European Union. It is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, northwest of Israel, north of Egypt and east of Greece.
The earliest known human activity on the island dates to around the 10th millennium BC. Archaeological remains from this period include the well-preserved Neolithic village of Khirokitia, and Cyprus is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world. Cyprus was settled by Mycenaean Greeks in two waves in the 2nd millennium BC. As a strategic location in the Middle East, it was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the empires of the Assyrians, Egyptians and Persians, from whom the island was seized in 333 BC by Alexander the Great. Subsequent rule by Ptolemaic Egypt, the Classical and Eastern Roman Empire, Arab caliphates for a short period, the French Lusignan dynasty and the Venetians, was followed by over three centuries of Ottoman rule between 1571 and 1878 (de jure until 1914).

Genres: Music,1974 the island was invaded
Civilians were shot
And families separated
No one came to help them
America turned a blind eye
People were mass murdered
Greeks stood and fought
Because we refuse to die
Never give up soon our time will come
We’ll restore our land to the days of Byzantium
The glory of Cyprus is on its way
This is our home and we are here to stay
There are no human rights
They’re in a prison in their own country
The enemy laughs at us
They destroy our noble cities
They are only jealous
Of something that they never could be
We are Greek and we are proud
And Cyprus belongs to me
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat verse 2 and 1)
