Everyone from Cyprus is called a Cypriot, but there are two groups of Cypriots with very separate identities.
Live in the south and centre of the island.
Live in the north of the island
At many times in history the Greek and Turkish Cypriots have lived together peacefully, but there has also been a lot of tension and violence.
Right now the island is divided and the two communities live separately. But on April 23 2003 a big change took place.
The authorities in the north of the island opened the boundary that separated the two groups.
