A Turkish invasion force intervened in 1974 to take control of the Turkish part of Cyprus. Since 1974, the dividing line has created a barrier between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot Communities. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not recognized by the UN Security Council (Brewin, 20).

Since the 1990s, the dynamics of the dispute have been changed as the European Union decided to open negotiations with Cyprus for a settlement. Cyprus was considered for the membership of the European Union. Supporters of this move argued that it would moderate all sides for negotiations. Opponents said that it would lead to the Greek Cypriots settling for a peace agreement on their own terms. The Turkish Cypriots responded to this move by insisting that they would only negotiate on the basis of a confederal solution. Relations between Turkey and European Union were eased after Turkey was considered for EU membership. However tension continues despite efforts by the European Union and United Nations for a peaceful solution (Dods, 14).

The best possible solution to the Cyprus dispute in which the interests of the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots is obtained is by the UN plan put forward by Kofi Annan. This would also allow Turkey to be included in the European Union. This plan calls for the Republic of Cyprus to be transformed into the United Cyprus Republic. It would be a federation of two states with the Turkish part comprising thirty percent and the Greek part comprising seventy one percent. Each part will have its own parliament. A bicameral parliament will be established at the federal level (Gibbons, 34).
