Title
50th Anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus, Commemorative Ιssue
Description
After 82 years of British rule, on 15th August 1960, the Union Jack was lowered from Government House for the last time. Archbishop Makarios III was President and Turkish Cypriot leader Dr. Fazil Kuchuck Vice President. Sir Hugh Foot, last Governor of Cyprus, signed the agreements by which he surrendered his authority to the leaders of the Republic of Cyprus. The flag of the newly established State was hoisted on Government House and all public buildings in Cyprus.
In July 1974, after the Greek Junta in Greece staged a coup to overthrow the Government of President Makarios, Turkey invaded Cyprus and occupied 37% of the land. Britain, Greece and Turkey failed in their obligations and undertakings to uphold the independence and sovereignty of the Republic.
On 1st May 2004, Cyprus officially acceded as a full member of the European Union. In April 2003, the then President of Cyprus, Tassos Papadopoulos, had signed the Treaty of Accession.
On January 1st 2008, Cyprus adopted the “Euro” as its currency and the country entered a new era in its history. As full member of the European Union, Cyprus joined a family of nations dedicated to promoting peace, friendship, respect for Human Rights, protection of the environment and unity among its diverse people.
