21 years since the Annan plan referendum

Thursday marked exactly 21 years since simultaneous referendums were held on Cyprus’ two sides over whether to reunite Cyprus under the Annan plan on April 24, 2004 .

While an almost two-thirds majority of Turkish Cypriots voted in favour of the plan, over three quarters of Greek Cypriots voted against it, and as such, it was never implemented.

Cyprus remains divided and the Cyprus problem remains unsolved to this day,
