'''Cyprus''' ( officially the '''Republic of Cyprus''', is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is geographically a part of West Asia, but its cultural ties and geopolitics are overwhelmingly Southeast European. Cyprus is the third-largest and third-most populous island in the Mediterranean. It is east of Greece, north of Egypt, south of Turkey, and west of Lebanon and Syria. Its capital and largest city is Nicosia. The northeast portion of the island is de facto governed by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which, like Turkey, refers to the internationally recognized government of Cyprus as the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus (Turkish: Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi) or simply the Greek Cypriot Administration. | |||
Cyprus was first settled by hunter-gatherers around 13,000 years ago, with farming settlements emerging a few thousand years later. During the late Bronze Age, Cyprus, known in contemporary sources as Alashiya, developed an urbanized society closely connected to the broader Mediterranean world. Cyprus experienced waves of settlement by Mycenaean Greeks at the end of the 2nd millennium BC. It was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the Assyrian, Egyptian, and Persian empires, from whom the island was seized in 333 BC by Alexander the Great. Subsequent rule by Ptolemaic Egypt, the Classical and Eastern Roman Empire, Arab caliphates for a short period, the French Lusignan dynasty, and the Venetians was followed by over three centuries of Ottoman rule between 1571 and 1878 (de jure until 1914). Cyprus was placed under the United Kingdom's administration based on the Cyprus Convention in 1878 and was formally annexed by the UK in 1914. | |||
The island's future became a matter of disagreement between the two prominent ethnic communities, Greek and Turkish Cypriots. From the 19th century onwards, the Greek Cypriot population pursued enosis, union with Greece, which became a Greek national policy in the 1950s. The Turkish Cypriot population initially advocated the continuation of British rule, then demanded the annexation of the island to Turkey, and in the 1950s, together with Turkey, established a policy of Taksim, the partition of Cyprus, and the creation of a Turkish polity in the north. Following nationalist violence in the 1950s, Cyprus was granted independence in 1960. The crisis of 1963–64 brought further intercommunal violence between the two communities, displaced more than 25,000 Turkish Cypriots into enclaves and brought the end of Turkish Cypriot representation in the republic. On 15 July 1974, a coup d'état was staged by Greek Cypriot nationalists and elements of the Greek military junta. This action precipitated the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on 20 July, which led to the capture of the present-day territory of Northern Cyprus and the displacement of over 150,000 Greek Cypriots and 50,000 Turkish Cypriots. A separate Turkish Cypriot state in the north was established by unilateral declaration in 1983; the move was widely condemned by the international community, with Turkey alone recognizing the new state.

Cyprus ( officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is geographically a part of West Asia, but its cultural ties and geopolitics are overwhelmingly Southeast European. Cyprus is the third-largest and third-most populous island in the Mediterranean. It is east of Greece, north of Egypt, south of Turkey, and west of Lebanon and Syria. Its capital and largest city is Nicosia. The northeast portion of the island is de facto governed by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which, like Turkey, refers to the internationally recognized government of Cyprus as the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus (Turkish: Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi) or simply the Greek Cypriot Administration.
Cyprus was first settled by hunter-gatherers around 13,000 years ago, with farming settlements emerging a few thousand years later. During the late Bronze Age, Cyprus, known in contemporary sources as Alashiya, developed an urbanized society closely connected to the broader Mediterranean world. Cyprus experienced waves of settlement by Mycenaean Greeks at the end of the 2nd millennium BC. It was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the Assyrian, Egyptian, and Persian empires, from whom the island was seized in 333 BC by Alexander the Great.

Cyprus was placed under the United Kingdom's administration based on the Cyprus Convention in 1878 and was formally annexed by the UK in 1914.
The island's future became a matter of disagreement between the two prominent ethnic communities, Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Spanking and Spanking Art in Cyprus
In the 20th century, school corporal punishment fell out of fashion and was gradually banned in many countries, a trend that continues until the present day.
As of May 2008, Cyprus prohibits corporal punishment in schools.
CYPRUS: JCP
During the political troubles of the middle 1950s (when Greek Cypriots were rioting against the British colonial power and agitating for union with Greece), emergency laws were introduced to enable the courts to order male teenagers to be caned for taking part in unlawful assemblies. This scheme started in December 1955.[Source 1]
From this January 1956 news report, it becomes clear that the youths were caned over the seat of their trousers while they bent over a chair. This is unusual in British colonial judicial CP, which has normally involved the baring of buttocks.
This June 1956 follow-up report emphasizes that it was a fairly mild schoolboy-style punishment, not the vicious flogging with a cat that Greek propagandists claimed.
No references to further caning sentences have been found after the end of 1956, and it may be that the experiment was abandoned because it was counterproductive in terms of public relations.
However, there had also been JCP in Cyprus for ordinary offenses. Benson (1937) records that 8 adults were sentenced to "flogging" (no details provided) in 1935.
CYPRUS: School CP
GPTEVAC states that CP has been unlawful in Cyprus schools since 1967, but cites no source for this information.
