Palavras-chave:
Chipre, Guerra Fria, GeopolíticaResumo
O objetivo do artigo é analisar, de um contexto histórico-militar, a importância do Chipre no mundo geopolítico durante a Guera Fria. Chipre é uma pequena ilha localizada no Mediterrâneo oriental, ao sul da Turquia e leste de Síria e Líbano. Por sua posição estratégica, entre três continentes ela foi ocupada por fenícios, egípcios, assírios, persas, gregos e romanos na Antiguidade. Durante a Guerra Fria, Chipre foi utilizado como base de apoio para as ações das grandes potências. O artigo é baseado na experiência do autor como Observador Militar e Oficial de Ligação entre 2012 e 2013, no Chipre, em uma revisão bibliográfica detalhada sobre o tópico e em análises documentais e documentos oficiais da ONU referentes ao período.
