  • Kostiantyn Balabanov, Cyprus Is the Partner of Ukraine
    Kostiantyn BALABANOV, rector of Mariupol State University, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Cyprus in Mariupol, Corresponding member of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, PhD in political sciences, Professor, Head of NDA International Relations and Foreign Policy Department CYPRUS IS THE PARTNER OF UKRAINE he article is dedicated to the issues of formation and development of cooperation between Ukraine and the TRepublic of Cyprus. Modern state of diplomatic, political, juridical cooperation between two countries is under consideration. Current state of political contacts between Ukraine and the Republic of Cyprus has also been analyzed in the article. The Republic of Cyprus is one of the most energetically developing states in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Since its independence in 1960 Cyprus has achieved economic progress, thus securing its leading positions in tourism and international investments. Despite of that fact that the country was de facto split in two parts in 1974 the Greek Cypriots have achieved spectacular results ranking among the most developed countries worldwide. In 2004 the Republic of Cyprus became the member of the European Union. Nowadays the country plays key roles in the region from the economic and geopolitical standpoint. Cyprus’ experience of the EU integration is very valuable for Ukraine. Historically, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic established the diplomatic relations with the Republic of Cyprus at the ambassadorial level on August 16–18, 1960 right after Cyprus had declared its independence as the result of the long national liberation movement. The Soviet Union supported the Cyprus independency; the USSR government maintained close contacts with archbishop Makarios, the leader of national liberation movement who was elected the first President of Cyprus.

The result, of course, is well known. The Greek Cypriots replied in the negative to the extent of 76% - a very high proportion- with the result that the whole effort ended, at least temporarily in a dead end. Utter confusion has reigned since then. The foreign intermediaries have withdrawn their interest and the Turkish Cypriots are attempting to reap the diplomatic benefits of their own “Yes”, while the Greek Cypriots are stalled in a defensive posture.
