'''Kupro''' (pia: '''Kipro, Kuprosi''', na hata '''Saiprasi''' kutoka [[Kiingereza]] '''Cyprus''') ni [[nchi ya kisiwani]] upande wa [[mashariki]] wa [[bahari]] ya [[Mediteranea]]. 

Ki[[jiografia]] ni sehemu ya [[Asia]], lakini ki[[utamaduni]] na ki[[siasa]] ni sehemu ya [[Ulaya]]. 

[[Mji mkuu]] ni [[Nikosia]].

==Historia==
=== Kisiwa cha shaba ===
Watu waliishi huko walau kuanzia [[milenia ya 10 KK]].

Zamani za Kale kisiwa kilikuwa chanzo cha [[shaba]] nyingi iliyopatikana katika eneo la Mediteranea ya mashariki. [[Jina]] la ki[[kemia]] la shaba "[[kupri]]" linatokana na jina la kisiwa hicho.

===Katika Biblia===
Kisiwa kinazungumziwa na [[Biblia ya Kikristo]], kwa namna ya pekee kuhusiana na [[umisionari]] wa [[Mtume Barnaba]] na wenzie [[Mtume Paulo]] na [[Marko Mwinjili]] kisiwani huko.

===[[Karne za Kati]]===
Kuanzia [[mwaka]] [[649]] Kupro ilishambuliwa na pengine kutawaliwa na [[Waarabu]] walioua wakazi wengi na kubomoa [[Kanisa|makanisa]] na [[miji]] mizima.

===Chini ya Waosmani===
Baada ya [[Ukristo|Wakristo]] kujirudishia kisiwa hicho muhimu, [[Waturuki]] [[Waosmani]] walikiteka mwaka [[1570]] na kuingiza [[Uislamu]] bila kufaulu kufuta [[dini]] ya awali.

===Chini ya Waingereza===
Mwaka [[1878]] [[Uingereza]] ulianza kutawala Kupro bila kuitenga rasmi na [[Dola la Waosmani]] hadi mwaka [[1914]].

===Uhuru===
[[Tarehe]] [[16 Agosti]] [[1960]] Kupro ilijipatia [[uhuru]] ingawa kulikuwa na utata kati ya kubaki peke yake, kuungana na [[Ugiriki]] au kugawiwa kati ya [[kaskazini]] (Waturuki) na [[kusini]] (Wagiriki).

===Baada ya uhuru===
Tangu [[vita vya Kupro, 1974]] [[kisiwa]] kimegawiwa, huku maeneo ya [[kaskazini]] yakiwa yanatawaliwa na [[Jamhuri ya Kituruki ya Cyprus ya Kaskazini]] isiyotambulika kimataifa. 

Pamoja na hayo, Kupro imefaulu kujiunga na [[Umoja wa Ulaya]] tarehe [[1 Mei]] [[2004]].

==Watu==
Wakazi walio wengi hutumia [[lugha]] ya [[Kigiriki]], wengine [[Kituruki]], ambazo zote mbili ni [[lugha rasmi]]. 

Kwa jumla hao wa kwanza ni [[Wakristo]] (72.3[[%]] za wakazi wote), wa pili ni [[Waislamu]] (25%). 

Wakristo karibu wote ni [[Waorthodoksi]]; wengine ni [[Wakatoliki]] (2.9%, hasa [[Wamaroni]]), [[Waprotestanti]] (2%) na [[Kanisa la Kitume la Armenia|Waarmenia]].

[[Dini]] ina nafasi kubwa katika [[maisha]] ya wananchi.
