Wyspa Cypr, położona we wschodniej części Morza Śródziemnego, znana jest z trwającego od dziesięcioleci konfliktu zwanego „konfliktem cypryjskim”. Na rozwiązanie konfliktu wpływają przede wszystkim członkowie lokalnych społeczności. Nie należy jednak zapominać o graczach zewnętrznych. Istotną rolę w tym procesie odgrywają przede wszystkim organizacje międzynarodowe (ONZ, UE) oraz znaczące mocarstwa światowe lub regionalne (USA, Rosja, Wielka Brytania, Turcja, Grecja). Kraje te mają istotny wpływ na działalność we wschodniej części basenu Morza Śródziemnego i realizują swoje interesy we wspomnianym regionie.

The Cyprus Island, located in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, is known for decades of conflict known as the “Cyprus conflict”. The resolution to the conflict is, first of all, influenced by the citizens of local communities. However, we should not forget about the external actors. First and foremost international organisations (UN, EU) and the significant world or regional countries (USA, Russia, Great Britain, Turkey, and Greece) are also significant and very active and efficient in this process. These countries have an important influence on activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and assert their interests in the mentioned region.
