The Cyprus Conflict
How to use The Cyprus Conflict Web site
This site is built on a main narrative, with links from this narrative to documents, scholarship, commentary, and other resources.
The easiest way to navigate is to use the main narrative and its hyperlinks, or use the table of contents. There are three kinds of documents on this site: the major text files, linked principally from the main narrative; comments, denoted with this symbol -- C -- and which are linked from text files; and documents that are housed on other Web sites and are accessed by hyperlinks. The hyperlinks that take you to other Web sites are marked with an asterisk [*]. The table of contents lists every major file on the site, with hyperlinks to those files. There are approximately 130 files altogether.
The navigation bar in the left margin on nearly every page provides you with a quick way to go to one of the main guides. If you wish to return to the place in the document you were reading previously, use the "Back" button on your browser. (Using the hyperlink to the Main Narrative, for example, will take you to the beginning of that document.)
The Resources section provides a bibliography, links to other Web sites of interest, and a few other useful features, such as an analysis of conflict resolution. There is a separate section on Historiography & Nationalism.
Several hyperlinks will take you off this site to see something else of interest (the U.N. site, for example). You must return here using the "Back" button on your server.
Due to the exceptional amount of time needed for formatting, footnotes are generally included only for scholarly work. References and bibliographies from all works are included in one document in the Resources section. Books and journals used in this site are available for sale from their publishers or other book vendors and are listed for convenience in Resources.
There is a Search engine for the site that works only internally. All documents are in the English language. Most of the documents were written in British style, so when using the search engine remember to search more than once by spelling words in British and American style if you are having difficulty finding what you seek---e.g., labour and labor.
The Turkish language cannot always be easily copied using the scanning and software for this Web site, and, as a result, some place names and peoples names appear both in their Turkish typography and in an American approximation, usually easy to recognize, such as Kuchuk for Küçük. There was no attempt to use the Greek alphabet.
Most of these documents were uploaded after scanning and reformatting. As a result, there will be a number of "typos" in this site that are not in the original text. (An example is the name "Clerides," which always scanned as "derides.") For these and similar mistakes, apologies are offered. Proof-reading a site with nearly a half million words is imperfect. Some typos in the originals have been corrected.
For all documents with copyrights, permission to reproduce has been granted or is pending.
There are no provisions for interactivity on this site, no chat rooms and the like. Comments, questions, or contributions can be made by emailing the editor at tirman@MIT.edu.
