Reunification of Cyprus? Party positions towards a solution of the Cypriot Problem : A systematic overview of the the Greek Cypriot parties’ positions towards a solution to the Cypriot Problem and how these affect a possible solution

Abstract: This study seeks to create a systematic overview of the five biggest Greek-Cypriot political parties in terms of votes. The topic which is being examined is the political positions held by these parties towards the solution of the Cypriot Problem. The Cypriot problem is a very controversial topic in Cyprus given the fact that forty percent of the island is under Turkish occupation to this day. The attitudes towards finding a solution and the attitude towards a solution has been historically a topic of polarization, whereas certain groups in Cyprus have more values of Philhellenism and others believe in Cypriocentricism. The study seeks to identify the correlation of the aforementioned values in terms of certain types of nationalism, thus creating a systematic overview with the party positions from a G/C perspective.
