Gialousa
Yialousa is a town in Cyprus, located on the Karpas Peninsula. Situated de jure in the Famagusta District of the Republic of Cyprus, Yialousa is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus, serving as a sub-district in the İskele District. In 2011, Yialousa had a population of 1,774.
In 1960, the town had 2,538 inhabitants, of whom only one was Turkish Cypriot, the rest being Greek Cypriot. In 1973 the population was 2,460, all Greek Cypriots. When the Turkish and Turkish Cypriot forces reached the town during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in August 1974, the Greek inhabitants could not move to the south of the island, which was controlled by the Republic of Cyprus. They left the village gradually because of restrictions on freedom of movement and education, and to reunite with family members who were taken as prisoners and ended up in the southern portion of the island after they were returned. In 1976, displaced Turkish Cypriots from the Kokkina exclave were resettled in the village, and it was renamed "Yeni Erenköy".International relations
