    Ontological (in)security concept has been recently introduced to the security studies and qained popularity. Individuals and states instinctively pursue their physical security but they never feel completely safe in an environment which stability and security of self's existence cannot be guaranteed. They're in a search for attaining ontological security through narratives habits and routines to generate a sense of trust in an uncertainty environment. In this regard this article tries to answer a key question: how ongoing Cyprus conflict be explained through ontological (in)security considering the EU's failure to unravel security dilemmas between Turkish and Greek communities on the island? The findings of the article will contribute to the existing literature and open up new debates concerning the role of ontological (in)security in ongoing conflicts.
