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. Perhaps it would be helpful to create a FAQ to deal with questions that come up repeatedly, such as this one.

Hello,
I am sending this email based on the posts I did on 2004 about Cyprus Island.
Cyprus is a Europe island near greece and is consider within Europe.
It is wrong displayed under Asia
Please correct and make Europe Cyprus, Nicosia (City)
