On the Geographical Basis for the Problems in Cyprus

"Cyprus is situated in the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, 33 degrees east and 35 degrees north of the Equator...."

This from an official government webiste, http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/cyphome/govhome.nsf/

I am now looking for proof that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus claims to be located some 35 degrees north of a meridian. No wonder they can't entirely agree.

And: how interesting commas are.
