[edit] Introduction

Liberalism wasn't traditionally organized in Cyprus. It lasted until 1993 that a liberal party was formed. Nowadays the United Democrats (Enomeni Dimokrates, member ELDR) are a left of center liberal party. In North Cyprus the left of center Peace and Democracy Movement (Bariş ve Demokrasi Hareketi) and the right of center Democratic Party (Demokrat Parti) might be considered liberal parties, but their exact profiles are not available.
