According to the 2023 census
Cyprus’s latest population census was the 2021 Census of Population and Housing, not a 2023 census.
Full reasoning
This sentence misdates the source. The official Cyprus Statistical Service describes these results as the Census of Population and Housing 2021, with the reference date 1 October 2021. I found no official 2023 population census matching this claim; 2023 figures published by Cyprus are demographic statistics built on the 2021 census, not a separate 2023 census.

737,196 (2023 census)
This Cyprus population figure is not the official Greek-Cypriot census count, and the cited census year is wrong.
Full reasoning
In the infobox, 737,196 (2023 census) is presented as the Greek Cypriot population in Cyprus. The official Cyprus Statistical Service’s ethnicity table for the 2021 census lists Greek-Cypriot = 689,412 in total, not 737,196. Separately, official census summary data say 719,252 were Cypriot citizens overall. So 737,196 is not the official Greek-Cypriot census count, and calling it a 2023 census is also inaccurate because the official population census was the 2021 Census of Population and Housing.

whom succeeded his brother, Guy of Lusignan, in 1194
This reverses the succession. Guy of Lusignan died in 1194 and was succeeded by his brother Aimery, not the other way around.
Full reasoning
The succession is stated backwards here. Standard historical references say Guy of Lusignan ruled Cyprus until his death in 1194, after which his brother Aimery took over. So the article’s wording that Aimery was the one “whom succeeded his brother, Guy of Lusignan, in 1194” is incorrect.
