From the Paper
"The invasion also allowed the Turks to establish their authority on the Greeks. They disallowed the Greek refugees from entering the lands that they had occupied. This is because the Greeks had threatened to wage war against not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also Turkey. Furthermore, both communities of Cyprus started looking up to the Americans for political rewards and punishments. Halil Ibrahim Salih (1978) writes, "The Turks thus hope that the strain of caring for 180,000 refugees will weaken Greek resolve and that Greece will be forced to accept establishment of a bizonal federation on Cyprus ... .""

Abstract
This paper explains that, although both Hungary and Cyprus are international crossroads nations, their experiences as members of the EU are likely to be very different. The writer states that it is already clear that old economic and political habits die hard in Hungary and that nation is likely to toddle along, perhaps helped economically by EU membership, but perhaps not very much. On the other hand, the writer points out that it is clear that Cyprus has been able to use its position, despite its continuing unsettled Turkish-Greek political situation, to take full advantage of membership and become a financial powerhouse in the region.

From the Paper
"In fact, Cyprus, a year after EU accession, has seen exactly the economic benefits it sought and expected. Cyprus Minister of Finance Iacovos Keravnos particularly cited the economic benefits of the Cyprus pound joining the EU Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). This would add to the benefits already experienced including the "stability of the Cyprus pound's exchange rate, the convergence of Cypriot interest rates with those of the Eurozone, the restraint of production costs, improved competitiveness, and the attraction of foreign investment" (Xinhua News Agency 2005)."

Abstract
This is paper bases its discussion on the sociological hypothesis that " external conflict promotes internal cohesion". The author looks at the study by sociologists Kyriacos Markides and Steven Cohn who found that the effect that the Turkish invasion had on the Greek Cypriot community showed the hypothesis to be untrue, and suggests factors that may have produced this result.
From the Paper
"Within the world of Sociology (specifically the world of social conflict theory) there exists the hypothesis that ?external conflict promotes internal cohesion" within a group that is antagonized by another. Yet in order for this to happen certain conditions by the oppressed group must be met. The group must be a ?going concern?, in other words members of the group must feel that its preservation is important and ?the threat must be perceived to be against the group as a whole, not just a part?.
In regards to this hypothesis a study was done on the country of Cyprus by Sociologists Kyriacos Markides and Steven Cohn. Their findings on the effect that the Turkish invasion had on the Greek Cypriot community showed the hypothesis to be untrue. Dominance by an antagonistic group did not bring Greek Cypriots together but rather split them apart. Their analysis of Cyprus took the hypothesis one step further, insisting that ?one factor determining whether external conflict produces internal consensus is the degree of preexisting unity,? thus arguing that this unity did not exist within Greek Cypriot society."

From the Paper
"It sometimes seems that the nations of Greece and Turkey should take up the poet Robert Frost?s axiom that ?Good fences make good neighbors?, for the two countries have been continually, if intermittently, at conflict with each other for centuries. At the moment, tensions have relaxed as much as they have during any time in the last quarter-century and it would be all too easy to indulge in a sense of giddy optimism over the state of affairs in this part of the world if one had not seen all of this happen before, only to see the countries once more fall into roles of antagonism. This paper looks at the historical roots of this regional antagonism and at what basis there is for current optimism.
The paper focuses on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, partitioned for the past quarter century between Turks and ..."

EU membership.
From the Paper
"Turkey spans two continents. It wants to play a role in the affairs of both. Turkey is active in affairs of the Middle East, the Turkish-speaking former Soviet Republics such as Turkministan, and in European political, security, and economic organizations. Turkey is a member of every European organization except the European Union. It plays an active role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which protected western Europe against Soviet aggression. Turkey has wanted to join the European Union for a long time. The EU has rebuffed it for many reasons including Turkey;s political structure, human rights abuses, and having a weak economy. But Turkey feels like the real reason that they have not been accepted is that they are a Muslim nation. This paper will examine the historical relationship between Turkey and the European Union and analyze the five demands most recently placed on Turkey by the EU in order to be considered for full membership into the organization."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Turkey was officially accepted as a possible candidate for EU membership in December 1999, and in 2002 the European Council stated that if Turkey met the 'Copenhagen' criterion by 2004, it would immediately open negotiations. Since 1999, and in particular since the AKP government's election in 2002, Turkey has introduced radical reforms promoting democratisation, and has made considerable efforts concerning human rights. However, these reforms are still not complete, and there are problems concerning their implementation in many areas, including within the area of human rights. In other words, judicial reform, according to the European Commission, remains insufficient."

American vs. Cypriot Education, 2008.
A comparison of the American and Cypriot educational systems, specifically exploring their approaches to educating special education students at the elementary level.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Cypriot and American educational systems are similar in their approach to special education, but reveals that the outcomes for students engaged in special education programs and integrated classrooms in Cyprus appear more positive than those for students in the American classroom. The paper attributes this to the more positive attitudes of Cypriot teachers towards integration and the little differentiation among Cypriot students with regard to socio-economic status and related factors, which are shown to influence educational outcomes in American students.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"To understand how special education students experience education in Cyprus, one must first understand the culture in which Cypriot students live. Bryant (2002) provides a complex and detailed overview of Cypriot culture; finding Cypriot idealisms and images of gender, family and kinship within the Greek nation are largely contingent on the "notions of a common substance shared between land and people" (p. 509). The author goes on to say that within Cyprus, there is much argument as to what is "natural" and "unnatural" with regard to the "national" kinship of people. This lack of uniformity among citizens tends to lead to an abyss, a variance of cultural logic and traditions, traditions that may influence among other factors, education."

Abstract
The paper explores the economic and foreign policy aspect of the proposed Turkish accession to the European Union. The paper reveals that the European Union, taking into account the security environment in the last years, needs the Turkish state but Turkey would have to resolve her political problems with the Kurdish population, with Greece, and Cyprus. The paper offers a general overview of the EU's foreign policy in regard to the Middle East and shows how, with Turkey as a member state, the EU can have a representative voice in the fight against terrorism in the region, as well as in the direct contacts with the Mediterranean states.
From the Paper
"There are controversial issues surrounding Turkey's accession to the EU taking into account the different forces inside the communitarian forum. However, it can be said that the Muslim country has enough attributes to be considered for membership of the European Union. Still, in order to have a better view at the importance of the country for the European forum, it is essential that one particular aspect be taken into account. In this sense, the way in which the foreign policy of the European Union is developing, the Turkish accession may represent one of its most important attributes. More precisely, given the fact that the new threats of security come from the Middle East or so it seems after recent reports, the adherence of the Turkish state to both continents and to different cultures can prove to be a connection point which would be useful for the foreign policy of the EU in the future. Nonetheless, it is important that such aspects, as well as political, economic, and cultural ones related to the Middle East policy of the European Union be taken into account."

Abstract
The paper discusses Greece's relationship with the European Union (EU) and the part Greece plays in the relationship between the Balkans and the EU. The paper notes the strategic position of Greece towards Turkey, the island of Cyprus and the Middle East. The paper then examines the economic and cultural dimensions of Greece's presence in the region.
From the Paper
"Greece can be considered to be one of the most important countries in the European Union and of the region. This is largely due to its geostrategic position as well as the resources it has at its disposal in terms of financial and political capital. At the same time, it represents a connecting point for two essential regions of the world, Europe and the Middle East. Through its geographical position as well as through the capabilities it uses on a constant basis in order to lead a coherent political direction, Greece is viewed today as a crucial actor in this part of the world."

"The current study uses both quantitative and qualitative methodological processes to analyze the issue and works to determine what deregulation of the air transport industry has done to the tourism industry. This is very important to those that work for air transport companies, and equally important to those that work in tourism. The conclusions that are found here will provide answers to potential problems that have been seen throughout the tourism industry for some time with a focus on the five specific countries that have been selected by the researcher for this particular purpose."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of identity among the Maronite Christians in Lebanon, providing first a brief historical background and then discussing how they have pursued various strategies for determining for themselves who it is that they are. The primary Maronite group is a Christian community of Arabs centered in Lebanon and in communion with the Pope. Smaller Maronite groups also exist in Cyprus, Palestine, Syria, and the United States, with a total number throughout the world of about 1.3 million. It examines how the self discovery process is especially difficult since they are the minority in their own culture surrounded by majority groups who are overtly hostile towards them.
From the Paper
"The group?s roots lie in the seventh century when members adhered to the (then) heresy of Monothelitism. Monothelitism was the belief--which was held in conformity to traditional Christian doctrine--that Christ had two distinct natures, divine and human, but also held that the two natures are manifested in a single will and activity. The doctrine of Monothelitism was first promulgated about 624 by Byzantine emperor Heraclius, in an attempt to reconcile the orthodox point of view that Christ has two natures, with the heretical belief of the Monophysites that he has but one. By this reconciliation Heraclius hoped to bring back into the church the thousands of Monophysites who had been excommunicated for heresy. The result of the promulgation of Monothelitism, however, was not greater unity in the church and empire, but further division, as is so often the case with such well-meaning compromises."

From the Paper
""History has seen many great people. It has seen Alexander the Great's, Napoleon's, Washington's. However, in the twentieth century, the record for greatness was broken by Ataturk, this Turkish son of a Turk." as L'IIIustration Newspaper of France states after the death of a great leader, a true liberator in 1938. Among the great leaders of history, few have achieved so much in so short period, transformed the life of a nation as decisively, and given such profound inspiration to the world at large. With the foundation of today?s Republic of Turkey in 1923, Ataturk, literally the Father of the Turks, came up with a huge package of reforms to transform the sick, old Ottoman state into a young, modern Republic and a nation. This set of reforms is called Kemalism and it is the introduction and the rendering of the rights to the nation. It is the expression of the national sovereignty. It is an attempt to reach the level of the modern civilizations, it is westernization, modernization. It requires to experience a modern social life, to establish a secular state, and to govern with a positive science mentality. Ataturk?s words, which were brought by the idea of Kemalism, ?Peace at home, peace in the world,? give the basic principle of him about his views on world politics within his own nation and also in the world."
