... Turkish Cypriots, theretofore, lived in mingling with the Greek Cypriots and later, as clashes worsened, in alcoves dispersed throughout the island. As of 1974, the island is divided into roughly a third of the island in the north, the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), and two thirds south, the Republic of Cyprus (RoC), as well as a UN administered Buffer Zone separating the two areas ( Figure 1). While Turkish Cypriots reside in the north and Greek Cypriots in the south, their mutual immovable heritage has remained interspersed throughout the island and has over the years witnessed vandalism, neglect, re-purposing, and destruction [4][5][6][7][8]. ...

This study examines progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of Southern and Northern Cyprus. Drawing inspiration from established frameworks, our efforts are dedicated to putting the 2030 Agenda into action and delving deeper into the complexity of the SDG landscape at the national level with a more human-centered approach.
This research goes beyond the universal storyline, intertwining local complexities and historical aspects that affect the advancement of SDGs. Acknowledging the island's distinct geopolitical circumstances, the examination offers a comprehensive view on the hurdles and triumphs molding the sustainability scene. These insights not only enrich scholarly debate, but also offer a precious resource for decision-makers and interested parties committed to creating tailored approaches for a sustainable future in both South and North Cyprus.
This paper explores the intersections of religion, heritage, and politics in divided societies by focusing on two events that occurred in Cyprus before the crossing points opened (2003). These are the Greek and Turkish Cypriot reciprocal pilgrimages to a Christian and Muslim site, respectively, and the two sites' restoration. I argue that in these events the Cyprus Issue effected the transformation of pilgrimage practices and sites into matters of political agreement, implicating them in processes of conflict management and resolution. In this context, pilgrimage facilitated inter-communal exchanges and intra-communal frictions and antagonisms that question binary oppositions through which questions of conflict and amity have been debated in pilgrimage studies.
