The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC) was formed on 15th November 1983. It is a parliamentary democracy under the current Presidency of Mehmet Ali Talat.

It covers an area of 3,355 sq km and has a population of just over 256,000, predominantly Turkish-speaking though English is widely used in the main cities and resorts. The currency is Turkish Lira.

Because of the commercial importance of its geographical situation in the Mediterranean, the island of Cyprus has, throughout history, been subject to colonisation. It was occupied consecutively by Egyptians, Hittites, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Persians, Romanians, Byzantines, Lusignians, Venetians and, finally in 1571, Turks.

In 1878 the island was rented to Britain and in 1923, as part of the Peace Treaty of Lausanne, Turkey accepted the annexation of the island to Britain who, 1925, pronounced it a Crown Colony.

As a result of differences between the Greek and the Turkish, a Republic of Cyprus was created in August 1960; Britain, Greece and Turkey were guarantors of its independence.

In 1974, a Greek Cypriot coup attempted to annex the island to Greece triggered an invasion by Turkey and the Turkish Government despatched a military force to the Island.

However, the subsequent conflicts between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots resulted in a military stalemate, and in November 1983 the division of the island was formalised by the creation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Attempts to reconcile differences and reunite the island as a federation of two states have been made ever since - the latest initiative being the UN Annan Plan for reunificatio
It is positioned at the crossroads between three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. It is about 75 km south of Turkey, 105 km west of Syria and 380 km north of Egypt. Although geographically closer to the Middle East, it is, however, politically and culturally aligned with Europe

  • Northern Cyprus is an illegal state. It does not exist. The only country to recognise it as a state is Turkey itself, the country that committed the atrocities in 1974. All persons who were involved in the '74 invasion should be ashamed of themselves. They will go to hell.
