1981 CE

Both Cypriot communities benefit greatly from the expansion of the tourist industry, which will bring millions of foreign visitors to the island during the 1980s.

The economic success of the Republic of Cyprus is significant enough to seem almost miraculous.

Within just a few years, the refugees have housing and are integrated into the bustling economy, and Greek Cypriots enjoy a West European standard of living.

Turkish Cypriots have not done as well, but, working against an international embargo imposed by the Republic of Cyprus and benefiting from extensive Turkish aid, they have managed to ensure a decent standard of living for all members of their community—a standard of living, in fact, that is higher than that of Turkey.

Both communities establish government agencies to provide public assistance to those who need it and build modern education systems extending to the university level.
