| Summary: | The island, which is a full member of the European Union as the Greek Cypriot Administration, is recognized as the Republic of Cyprus and has very strategic importance in the Mediterranean, has become the most important agenda item of international relations since the 1950s. There were initial attempts to solve the problem, which will be called the “Cyprus Question”, by Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, but the dimension of the problem changed after the involvement of the European Economic Community in the early 1960s. The Europeanization of the Cyprus Question by Greece in the process of candidateship and membership of Turkey created for Cyprus an insurmountable obstacle in the process of Turkey’s accession negotiations with the European Union. With the full membership of Southern Cyprus to the European Union, the government has gained the support of most of the countries in the international arena for the Cyprus Question. The aim of the study is to evaluate and analyze the impact of Southern Cyprus’s full membership to the European Union on the Cyprus Question. In this context, the concept of the “Cyprus Question” was firstly discussed, and then the relationship between the Greek Cypriot Administration and the European Union was discussed in the context of the full membership process, and finally, an attempt was made to conduct a descriptive analysis of the effects of the European Union Membership of the Greek Cypriot Administration on the Cyprus Question and the data obtained were examined under the titles created. As a result, the full membership of the Greek Cypriot Administration to the European Union has changed the size of the Cyprus Question, and today, it has been found that the problem is highly complicated with multi-actors and is sentenced to deadlock. |
