The blue and white flag is so pretty and clean looking, produces a Zen-like feeling of relaxation....so why not fly it once in a while.

It looks so good.

It pisses the Turks off....

I think u got that wrong, old boy, it’s the big flag on the mountain side that pisses the Greeks off………



and it’s not blue and white

That big PacMan you call a flag? You're only making fools of yourselves. Every single tourist gets to see for themselves what sharing an island with 40,000 Turkish troops means.....and do we ever squeeze every last drop of PR from it....do we ever...

The national flag of Republic of Cyprus was adopted in 1960 after gaining independence from the United Kingdom. The flag was chosen by the President of the Republic Makarios III and the Vice-President Fazil Kucuk as the result of the flag design competition. According to the Constitution, the flag should not have blue or red colours (the colours of the flags of Greece and Turkey) and should not feature a cross or a crescent. The flag should look neutral. The national flag design competition was won by a Turkish Cypriot teacher and artist Ismet Guney.
Republic of Cyprus constitution about the Cyprus flag
Article 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus that was adopted on August, 16 1960 refers to the national flag:
