The Cyprus Issue | A Greek Cypriot Perspective with Christos Karaolis

In this second part of our special multi-part series on the Cyprus Issue, I speak with Christos Karaolis, a Greek Cypriot and the President of the Federation of Cypriots in the UK. Christos brings not only his personal insights but also a broader perspective on the Greek Cypriot community’s experience of one of the most divided conflicts in modern history.

We explore:

🇨🇾 The Greek Cypriot perspective on the conflict and its continuing legacy

📖 The historical events that deepened the divide on the island

🗣️ How Christos’s role as President has shaped his understanding of the issue

💡 His thoughts on the future of Cyprus and whether unity is achievable

This episode continues my mission to bring forward both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot voices, giving space to the human views and opinions that rarely make headlines.

💬 What do you think—can Cyprus ever overcome its division? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The National Federation of Cypriots in the UK is the representative body & acknowledged voice of Cypriots in the UK. It was founded in 1974 to advocate for the reunification of Cyprus, as well as to advance and promote the Cypriot diaspora.
