{{no footnotes|date=May 2016}}
The '''Greek-Cypriot diaspora''' refers to the [[Greek Cypriot]] population of [[Cyprus]], or people who are of Greek Cypriot origins, who live abroad because of either economic reasons, or were part of the [[Greek people|Greek]] population that was uprooted from their homes in [[Northern Cyprus]] by the [[Turkish Invasion of Cyprus]] when the [[Divided islands|island was divided]],  into the Greek-Cypriot controlled southern two-thirds and the [[Northern Cyprus|Turkish-controlled]] northern one-third in 1974.

Many Greek Cypriots migrated to the UK in the 1950s and 1960s for economic reasons,  but many also fled, leaving their island country behind after the [[Turkey|Turkish]] invasion of 1974. Today, the majority of Greek Cypriots living abroad are in the [[United Kingdom]], particularly in [[North London]], many around the [[Southgate, London|Southgate]] neighbourhood. {{Citation needed|date=December 2018}} However, thousands more have also relocated to [[Australia]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]], the [[United States]] and other [[Europe]]an countries. Many often return to Cyprus and are a major force in advocating [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] issues around the world.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}
