Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality [[Orestiada]], of which it is a municipal unit.<ref name=Kallikratis>[{{Cite web\|url=http://www.~~kedke~~et.gr/~~uploads2010~~idocs-nph/search/~~FEKB129211082010_kallikratis~~pdfViewerForm.~~pdf~~html?args=5C7QrtC22wGYK2xFpSwMnXdtvSoClrL81-32jgAMSfbnMRVjyfnPUeJInJ48_97uHrMts-zFzeyCiBSQOpYnT00MHhcXFRTsb2fGphpq4MKX2ZkaHobySNnvZCNHXvYVvlf80XevW0Q.\|title=ΦΕΚ B 1292/2010, Kallikratis ~~law]~~reform municipalities\|language=el\|publisher=[[Government Gazette (Greece)\|Government ~~Ministry~~Gazette]]}}</ref> The municipal unit has an area of ~~Interior~~135.976 km<sup>2</sup>.<ref name=stat01>{{cite web\|url=http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf \|publisher=National Statistical Service of Greece \|title=Population & housing census 2001 (incl. area and average elevation) \|language=el ~~icon~~\|url-status=dead \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921212047/http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf \|archivedate=2015-09-21 }}</ref> In ~~2001~~2021 its population was ~~1,157~~571 for the ~~village~~community and 21,~~915~~732 for the municipal unit. Kyprinos is located southwest of [[Edirne]], [[Turkey]], west-northwest of [[Orestiada]], north of [[Alexandroupoli]] and about 5 to 6 km east of [[Kurdzhali]] and the [[Bulgaria]]n frontier, where there is a border crossing. [[Athens]] is approximately 1,050 km to the southwest. [[Komara]] is on the other side of the river [[Arda (Maritsa)\|Ardas]]. ==Name origin== Line 30 ⟶ 28: The Greek name "Kyprinos" means "carp". It is not clear whether that name was given to the village because of the [[carp]]s found in the nearby [[Arda (Maritsa)\|Ardas]] river or for some other reasons. The name is rendered in [[Bulgarian language\|Bulgarian]] as Саръхадър, ''~~Sarahadar~~Saryhadyr''. ==Subdivisions== The municipal unit Kyprinos is subdivided into the following communities (constituent villages in brackets):<ref name=Kallikratis/> Kyprinos (Kyprinos, Galini) [[Fylakio]] (Fylakio, Keramos, [[Ammovouno]]) [[Zoni, Evros\|Zoni]] (Zoni, Chelidona, Mikra Doxipara) ==Population== {\| class=wikitable !

Even though it is not clear when the first ones were founded since historical sources are rare and barely explicit. However, there is evidence that in the Ancient world there already were settlements in that area. Excavations near the village of Mikri Doxipara - Zoni have brought interesting pieces of ancient Thracian culture ([[Thrace]]) into the light. The [[Tomb\|Tombs]] found in that place (8 km from Kyprinos, between Zoni and Mikri Doxipara) are estimated to be from the 1st or 2nd century AD. [[~~Sheikh_Bedreddin\|~~Sheikh Bedreddin]] (1359–1420), also known as Sheikh Bedreddin, was born in Kyprinos, son of a local g(h)azi (warrior), whose name was Israel. He was a famous Sufi teacher and a rebel against the Ottoman central rule. The modern municipality was founded in 1998 ~~will be celebrating its 10th anniversary of its founding in 2008~~. ==The river of Ardas== Line 74 ⟶ 76: ==External links== [https://web.archive.org/web/20070809050828/http://www.kyprinos.gr/ Official Website] [https://web.archive.org/web/20071013020145/http://alex.eled.duth.gr/~~ekdoseis~~EKDOSEIS.~~htm~~HTM Information] on the [[Democritus University of Thrace]] [http://www.gtp.gr/LocPage.asp?id=10746 Kyprinos (municipality) on GTP Travel Pages] *[http://www.gtp.gr/LocPage.asp?id=10747 Kyprinos (town) on GTP Travel Pages] ==References== Line 93: \|Northwest = }} {{~~Kyprinos~~Orestiada div}} [[Category:Populated places in Evros (regional unit)]] [[Category:Orestiada]] [[Category:Bulgaria–Greece border crossings]]
