The Union of Cypriots (Template:Lang-el; Template:Lang-tr) is a progressive and Cypriot nationalist political organization in Cyprus.^[1] The Union of Cypriots campaigns for a unitary Cypriot state, the restoration of the constitutional order that was destroyed in Cyprus after the crisis of 1963-64,^[3] and the ending of the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.^[4]^[5]

History and overview

The Union of Cypriots' origins root back to different organisations including the World Union of Turkish-speaking Cypriots,^[6]^[7] and the youth organisation LINOBAMBAKI, which was one of the formations that led the 2011 Turkish Cypriot protests.^[8]^[9] The organization supports a unitary solution instead of a federal one, concerning the reunification of Cyprus.^[10] With the idea of Cyprus belonging to all Cypriots, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, the organisation supports turning back to 1960 constitution,^[11] and reinforcing it more in the line of "one nation, one flag, one homeland and one state" view.^[12] The organization campaigns against Turkey's illegal settlement policy in Cyprus.^[13] The Union of Cypriots brings out a publication called Liberate Cyprus.^[14] The main slogan of the organization is "Cyprus for Cypriots".^[15]

The organization supported Cypriots who were targeted in the occupied areas of Cyprus,^[16] in events such as the prosecution of some community members for hanging the flag of the Republic of Cyprus in 2013,^[17] the attacks against the Afrika newspaper by Turkish settlers in 2018,^[18] the court cases that were filed against journalists by Turkey in 2019,^[19] and the actions against the workers who wanted to cross barricades to enter the free areas in 2020.^[20] Because of its activities, the leadership of the organization was blacklisted and declared persona non grata by Turkey in 2021.^[21]^[22]

In 2019, the Union of Cypriots expressed its intention to participate in the European Parliament elections independently,^[23] but later joined the Jasmine Movement independents list.^[24]^[25] In 2024, the Union of Cypriots, in cooperation with the Green Party of Cyprus and the socialist AIHMI movement, participated in the European Parliament elections with a joint list of candidates.^[26]

The Union of Cypriots is a member of international organisations such as the International League of Peoples' Struggle,^[27] the International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations,^[28] the International Anti-Imperialist United Front Against Fascism, War and Environmental Destruction,^[29] the No to War - No to NATO,^[30] and the Resist US-Led War Movement.^[31]
