My phone book lists just plain Cyprus as 357 (that's the Greek half,
although the book doesn't say so).  It doesn't list the Turkish half
at all, either under Cyprus or Turkey.  Presumably this will change in
next year's book as our government tries to cozy up to Turkey in view
of the serious situation in the Arabian Gulf (formerly the Persian
Gulf).

By the way, if you want to give me a call to discuss this, the country
code for the People's Republic of Ann Arbor, Michigan is 1313.
