Abstract :Deeply rooted in historical, ethnic and geopolitical complexities, the Cyprus issue has long been a challenge to regional stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. This article examines the evolution of the Cyprus issue, with particular emphasis on the role of the United States. Initially shaped by Cold War dynamics and the need to prevent conflict between NATO members Greece and Turkey, US intervention has evolved in response to changing geopolitical realities, including the growing influence of Russia in the region. The lifting of the US embargo on military sales to Cyprus is analyzed as a strategic maneuver aimed at countering the Russian presence and strengthening American interests. Despite these efforts, the path to a lasting solution remains challenging, as deep-rooted divisions between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, combined with complex international interests, continue to hinder progress. This article comprehensively examines the Cyprus issue, highlighting the interplay of historical grievances, ethnic divisions and international diplomacy that shape the island’s present and future.
