Abstract
Few scholars have studied the extension of the Cyprus question abroad, particularly in Great Britain, the former colonial power. According to estimates, 170–200,000 Greek Cypriots and British citizens of Greek Cypriot origin, as well as 60–90,000 Turkish Cypriots and British citizens of Turkish Cypriot origin live in Great Britain (compared to 640,000 Greek Cypriots and 90–100,000 Turkish Cypriots living in Cyprus). Turkish Cypriots' and Greek Cypriots' migration patterns are different and the communities are now separated in Cyprus. However, do we observe one or two Cypriot diasporas? While not all of these people mobilize for Cyprus (for or against the status quo), those who do, advocate ending the partition rather than perpetuating it. Nevertheless, there are few bi‐communal organizations. The debate between nationalists (partitionists) and Cypriotists (pro‐reconciliation) takes place mainly inside each community.
