Let me clarify that. They are one country, technically. But for the purposes of this article, it would be helpful to include Jewish relations with the Turkish Occupied part.—168.7.232.123 (talk) 15:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Article is INCORRECT in claiming Herzl's aimed to establish Cyprus as "the Jewish Homeland"
More blatant hogwash a-la-Wikipedia. It is of great concern that certain Wikipedia articles are engaging in shocking wanton disinformation. Herzl had no intention of setting up a permanent homeland for the Jews in any location other than Eretz Israel. However, in light of the fact that he was unable to gain the support of the Ottoman Turkish administration, and that there was urgent need for refuge for Jewish refugees from the pogroms in the Russian Empire at the turn of the 20th century, Herzl negociated with the British over areas that Jews in distress could settle in areas under British control, *UNTIL* Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel could be secured.
"In June 1902, Herzl had traveled to the British capital to testify before the Royal Commission for Alien Immigration. There, he declared that while the Zionist movement was committed to settling in Eretz Yisrael, it would consider plans to alleviate the plight of Jews in any method possible. He later explained to reporters that he was specifically referring to Cyprus and the Sinai Peninsula."

These proposals were ultimately rejected by the British, and attention ultimately shifted to Uganda. But it is important to emphasize that the terminology used to refer to the idea of Jewish settlement in Uganda was also of a TRANSITORY nature: "Nacht asyl" (Night shelter) and "an ante-chamber to the Holy Land".
