Abstract :
In this research, the economic structure of the Turkish and Greek communities in Cyprus during 1960-1983 and its properties have been observed. Based on this, as the main purpose of this research, which criteria must exist in the economic structure of the federal state during the talks taking place between the two parties in Cyprus have been expressed. In comparison to the Cypriot Turks traditional lifestyle which is based on agriculture and civil service, the Cypriot Greeks have been organized on a foundation of the industry and service sector and upon a modern capitalist economic model. However, the Cypriot Turks, under the domination of a commercial bourgeoisie, have formed a new economic unit as a wide but small bourgeoisie group and based on a small proprietorship. On the opposite, the Cypriot Greeks have succeeded in becoming a modern capitalist community. In fact, the Turkish Peace Movement, despite all complaints and reactions of the Cypriot Greek community, has also caused their national income, which was approximately 2.000 dollars before 1974, to increase to 15.000 dollars at the moment. Based on this fact, this research consists of three main sections. In the first section, the Turkish and Greek communities during the period from 1960 to 1983 have been observed in regards to the facts emerging after British Colonialism, the Republic of Cyprus and the 1974 Peace Movement. In the second section, the economic situation of the Cypriot Turks and its properties have been assessed. In the third and final section, the economic situation of the Cypriot Greeks and the economic and political facts of the embargo they placed have been addressed.
