Ramani ya Kupro

Kupro (pia: Kuprosi, Kipro, Saiprasi, Cyprus) ni nchi ya kisiwani upande wa mashariki wa bahari ya Mediteranea.

Kijiografia ni sehemu ya Asia, lakini kiutamaduni na kisiasa ni sehemu ya Ulaya.

Mji mkuu ni Nikosia.

Historia

Kisiwa cha shaba

Watu waliishi kisiwani huko walau kuanzia milenia ya 10 KK.

Zamani za Kale kisiwa kilikuwa chanzo cha shaba nyingi iliyopatikana katika eneo la Mediteranea ya mashariki. Jina la kikemia la shaba "kupri" linatokana na jina la kisiwa.

Katika Biblia

Kisiwa kinazungumziwa na Biblia ya Kikristo, kwa namna ya pekee kuhusiana na umisionari wa Mtume Barnaba na wenzie Mtume Paulo na Marko Mwinjili kisiwani huko.

Baada ya uhuru

Tangu vita ya Kupro ya 1974 kisiwa kimegawiwa, huku maeneo ya kaskazini yakiwa anatawaliwa na Jamhuri ya Kituruki ya Cyprus ya Kaskazini isiyotambulika kimataifa.

Pamoja na hayo, Kupro imefaulu kujiunga na Umoja wa Ulaya tarehe 1 Mei 2004.

Watu

Wakazi walio wengi hutumia lugha ya Kigiriki, wengine Kituruki, ambazo zote mbili ni lugha rasmi. Kwa jumla hao wa kwanza ni Wakristo Waorthodoksi (78% za wakazi wote), hao wa pili ni Waislamu (20%).

Wakristo wengine ni Wakatoliki, Waarmenia na Waanglikana.

Dini ina nafasi kubwa katika maisha ya wananchi.
