Summary
<p>Cyprus marked the 50th anniversary of Turkey's invasion to the north of the island on July 20th 1974. Since Cyprus and the Cypriot people have remained divided by a United Nations buffer zone to prevent further conflict, including the only remaining split capital city Nicosia. Despite diplomatic efforts between Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and even the UK that controls too strategic military bases, prospects of reunification or any change remain low. </p><br /><p>I am joined by fellow YouTuber James Ker-Lindsay, and expert of Cyprus to cover this forgotten crisis and example of how complex geopolitics can be. We debate how Greek vs Turkish Cypriots differ in their feelings over separation, how the island has involved in the past decades, the roles of Britain, Greece, and Turkey especially, and why a 'two-state solution' may be more likely than reunification. </p><br /><p><strong>Follow me for More</strong></p><ul><li><em>X/Twitter: </em>https://twitter.com/PKurzin</li><li><em>YouTube: </em>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-TPqKMViddKZeo4K2P2jg/</li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Support my Work</strong></p><ul><li><em>Patreon</em>: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/theglobalgambit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/theglobalgambit</a></li><li><em>Buy Me a Coffee</em>: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theglobalgambit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theglobalgambit</a></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Please leave the show a rating - its quick, easy and free to do, but helps me out tremendously.</p><h3>Subscribe to Substack </h3><p>Read as well as listen as l overthink for you: https://substack.com/@pyotrskurzin</p><p><br /></p><h3><strong>Follow The Show</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>X/Twitter</strong><em>: </em>https://twitter.com/PKurzin </li><li><strong>YouTube</strong><em>: </em>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-TPqKMViddKZeo4K2P2jg/ </li></ul><p><br /></p><h3><strong>Support The Show</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Patreon</strong>: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/theglobalgambit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/theglobalgambit</a></li><li><strong>Buy Me a Coffee</strong>: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theglobalgambit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theglobalgambit</a></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Leave a quick rating—it's free, easy, and honestly, the least you can do after I've blessed your ears with such wisdom.
