Nearly two years after Cyprus authorities announced their intention to allow the construction of a casino resort in the Southern part of the island, the bill that would seal the deal is ready to be introduced to Parliament.
On March 10, Cyprus' House of Representatives will vote on a piece of legislation that covers the creation of the first integrated casino resort of the Republic of Cyprus, an establishment similar to those that already exist in the Northern region of the island.
For those unfamiliar with the history of the third-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus has been divided in two separate parts since 1974, when Turkey invaded the north in response to a military coup on the island which was backed by the Athens government.
