Then when I was at university, my parents received a letter saying if I wanted to apply for Cypriot citizenship. My parents said no (I was in the UK) on my behalf as at the time it would have meant carrying out civil defense obligations.

I was not a non-resident. And yes, women do civil defense, men do military service.
