Figure 4. Ethnic Distribution of the Population, 1960, 1964, and
1990
Cyprus has been home to many peoples in its history. At
the
beginning of the 1990s, five ethnic communities lived on
the
island, Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Maronites,
Armenians, and
Latins. The events of 1974 resulted in a de facto
partition of the
island, and by the early 1990s virtually all Turkish
Cypriots lived
in the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" ("TRNC").
Nearly all
members of the other groups lived in the Republic of
Cyprus; only
about 600-hundred Greek Cypriots lived outside the
governmentcontrolled area.
Data as of January 1991
