Situated at the maritime crossroads of the eastern Mediterranean basin, Cyprus has a rich and varied history. Many invaders, settlers and immigrants have come here over the centuries, and the island has seen Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Lusignans, Genoese, Venetians, Ottomans, British and Turks seek to take a part of Cyprus for themselves.
Cyprus became an independent nation on Aug. 16, 1960, after Greek and Turkish Cypriots agreed on a constitution, which excluded both the possibility of partition as well as of union with Greece. Makarios became the country's first president.
The national flag of the Republic of Cyprus was adopted in 1960 after gaining independence from the United Kingdom. The flag was chosen by the President of the Republic Makarios III and the Vice-President Fazil Kucuk as the result of the flag design competition.
By Constitution, the banner should not have blue or red hues (the shades of the banners of Greece and Turkey) and no a cross or a bow. The banner ought to look impartial. The national banner outline rivalry was won by a Turkish Cypriot instructor and craftsman Ismet Guney.
Cyprus is the only country to display its land area on its official flag. The background of the flag is white that represents peace. In the middle, there is the map of the island that has the copper colour to represent the historical attachment of Cyprus to this metal. Under the island's map, there are olive tree's branches. The branches of the olive tree represent peace as well.
The banner of Cyprus is used ashore as the national and common banner and adrift as the national and common ensign. Numerous ocean vessels on the planet go under the Cyprus banner as Cyprus has the third biggest armada inside of the European Union, with 16% of the aggregate armada of the 25 EU Member States. The European armada limit has expanded upon Cyprus' promotion because of the Cyprus armada commitment. The Flag Company Inc represented the special support on this occasion and the invented beautiful decals and flags for the history support of Cyprus Flag.
