If you did then you would see that Cypriots are most similar to Western Europeans and secondly to Lebanese Christians to Jews. Not similar to any Muslims and totally opposite side from the Turks.

The population tree (Figure 3A) splits Levantine populations in two branches:
(1) one leading to Europeans and Central Asians that includes Lebanese, Armenians, Cypriots, Druze and Jews, as well as Turks, Iranians and Caucasian populations; and a
(2) second branch composed of Palestinians, Jordanians, Syrians, as well as North Africans, Ethiopians, Saudis, and Bedouins.
