Good afternoon! I'd like to learn about Cyprus, please. 
 Cyprus was placed under the UK 's administration based on the Cyprus Convention in 1878 and was formally annexed by the UK in 1914 . 
 What else can you tell me about it's history? 
 Cyprus was accepted into the EU as a whole , although the EU legislation is suspended in Northern Cyprus until a final settlement of the Cyprus problem . 
 What kind of problem? 
 Fitch said Cyprus would need an additional € 4 billion to support its banks and the downgrade was mainly due to the exposure of Bank of Cyprus , Cyprus Popular Bank and Hellenic Bank , Cyprus 's three largest banks , to the Greek financial crisis . 
 What else can you tell me about the economy? 
 With an advanced , high-income economy and a very high Human Development Index , the Republic of Cyprus has been a member of the Commonwealth since 1961 and was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement until it joined the European Union on 1 May 2004 . 
 Where is Cyprus located? 
 Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. At present it is divided. The Republic of Cyprus is a member state of the European Union. 
 What is the population? 
 I don't know the population but I do know that Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea , after the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia ( both in terms of area and population ) . 
 Thank you for all the great information. Goodbye! 
 You are so welcome!
