Overview
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a self-declared state comprising the northeastern part of the island of Cyprus, with its capital at North Nicosia. Proclaimed in 1983 following the 1974 Turkish invasion of the island, it is recognized only by Turkey; the rest of the international community regards its territory as part of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.
