There's trouble in paradise

Step forward Cyprus, Aphrodite's island, a rich landscape of beaches, mountains, some of the most hospitable locals on earth - and a lingering human tragedy.

In 1974 Turkey invaded the island and annexed the north. There are still thousands of Turkish troops in the so-called Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.

Worse still, there remain thousands of displaced Greek Cypriots deprived of their homes who have had to look on helplessly and watch them inhabited by squatters for more than 30 years.
