Independence Declaration of Northern Cyprus

November 15th, 1983 41 years ago

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus declared independence unilaterally from the Republic of Cyprus with the support of Turkey. This declaration followed years of political turmoil and conflict that began with a coup attempting to unite Cyprus with Greece and subsequent Turkish military intervention. Officially, only Turkey recognizes Northern Cyprus as an independent state, leading to ongoing disputes and a division that persists in Cypriot society.
