ABSTRACT
Since the Turkish intervention in 1974, with the creation of the Green Line, the two
communities on the island of Cyprus got separated. For almost three decades there
was almost no trade or inter-communal interactions between Turkish and Greek
Cypriots. With the opening of three crossing points in 2003, as a sign of goodwill to
re-establish trust between the two communities, the two communities finally had a
way to interact with each other. A high number of Greek Cypriots have used the
opportunity to cross to the north ever since the crossings opened, but many have
refused it for ideological and political reasons. In particular, there was an unexpected
decline in the number of crossings from 2006 to 2014. However, with the onset of the
Turkish currency crisis in 2018, the balance of crossings has been reversed. Based on
a face-to-face survey, which was conducted to 400 Greek Cypriots in the northern part
of Nicosia between the 3rd April and 25th April 2022, this study aims to understand
and investigate, why and under what conditions Greek Cypriots crossed to the north
and address the potential difficulties, which crossers face and if they can be solved,
could have positive impact on the number of crossings and consequently improve
social contact between the two communities. This thesis also discusses, how the
current political climate and the politics of division affect the crossings to northern
Cyprus. This study deals with geopolitics, ideological and political-economic aspects
of crossing and explores how the interaction affects the broader context of the Cyprus
Problem.
