“CYPRUS”

CYPRUS NATIONAL FLAG

CYPRUS HISTORY : The first written source shows Cyprus under 

Assyrian rule. A stela found 1845 in Kition commemorates the victory of king Sargon II (721–705 BC) in 709 over the seven kings in the land of Ia', in the district of Iadnana or Atnana. The former is supposedly the Assyrian name of the island, while some authors take the latter to mean Greece (the Islands of the Danaoi). There are other inscriptions referring to Ia' in Sargon's palace at Khorsabad. The ten kingdoms listed by an inscription of Esarhaddon in 673/2 BC have been identified asSalamis, Kition, Amathus, Kourion, Paphos and Soli on the coast andTamassos, Ledra, Idalium and Chytri in the interior
