Definition of greek cypriot in English English dictionary

Greek Cypriots are the ethnic Greek population of Cyprus. They form the island's largest ethnic community, comprising nearly 80 percent of the population. The Greek Cypriots are mostly Eastern Orthodox Christians, members of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, an autocephalous church headed by an Archbishop. In a broader sense the term also includes Maronites, Armenians and Latins who were given the option of adhering to one of two constituent communities (Greek and Turkish) per the 1960 Constitution and who voted to join the Greek Cypriot Community
