Abstract

The Makarios era (1960–1977) corresponded with two major regional disputes, with wide implications on international peace and regional politics: the Cyprus issue and the Arab–Israeli conflict. Given that these disputes are still ongoing, this study utilises diverse primary and secondary sources to analyse Cyprus’s relations with Egypt (United Arab Republic) and Israel in the Makarios period, using both political and economic perspectives. The study demonstrates that Cyprus and Egypt’s diplomatic cooperation was built on reciprocal support extended by Nasser towards the Greek Cypriots and Makarios towards Egypt in the Arab–Israeli dispute, especially in international forums such as UN debates. Although Israeli foreign policy did not threaten Cyprus directly, both Cyprus and Egypt considered Turkey a common threat. However, despite the Cypriot government’s pro-Arab stance in the Arab–Israeli conflict, Cyprus had strong relations with both Israel and Egypt concerning the economy, culture, archaeology, medicine, and telecommunications.

摘要

马卡里奥斯时代（1960 年至 1977 年）对应着两个对国际和平和地区政治具有广泛影响的重大地区争端：塞浦路斯问题和阿以冲突。鉴于这些争端仍在继续，本研究利用各种主要和次要来源，从政治和经济角度分析马卡里奥斯时期塞浦路斯与埃及（阿拉伯联合共和国）和以色列的关系。该研究表明，塞浦路斯和埃及的外交合作建立在纳赛尔在阿以争端中对希族塞人和马卡里奥斯对埃及的相互支持的基础上，特别是在联合国辩论等国际论坛上。尽管以色列的外交政策并未直接威胁塞浦路斯，但塞浦路斯和埃及都将土耳其视为共同威胁。然而，
