    Cyprus is technically in Asia, not in Europe, and as such it shouldn’t qualify. But they make the rules and choose how to apply them, so they can allow for deviations if they want.

      Technically Asia and Europe are part of the same continent, Eurasia, as unlike all the other continents they are not fully separated by water. Even more technically, ‘continents’ are a linguistic phenomenon and have arbitrary boundaries and definitions.

        Especially Europe. Turn the world map upside down and see if Europe looks like a “continent”.

        Let’s be honest, there’s no “technically” about it either way. There is no real definition of what a continent is beyond “we call it a continent”
