That's irrelevant, we use geographic location, not political affiliation. Political links change way too rapidly, geography much more slowly (slowly enough that we can pretty much assume it is a constant), which is much more rational. Whether Cyprus is geographically Europe or Asia (or even Africa) is beyond my competence to judge (someone needs to look at the continental plate outlines, or something... - which I suspect is what has been done previously) but whatever is the answer to that, that's where we ought to have it. To avoid confusion, we can have, and do have, a link in any other likely location(s). kre
