This issue was discussed on the tz mailing list in September 2000, and again in May 2004. The resolution in 2000 was to add Europe/Nicosia as an alias for Asia/Nicosia. The accompanying comment reads, "for various reasons many users expect to find [Cyprus] under Europe." When the issue was discussed before, most reference sources placed Cyprus in Asia.
Cyprus is a member of the European Union (since 2004), and its official currency is the Euro, so I think it is reasonable for people to expect to find Cyprus under Europe. Regards Martin Jerabek
