Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti) or Turkish Cypriot State (Turkish: Kıbrıs Türk Devleti) is a de facto break-away state whose statehood is recognized only by Turkey, all other Member States of the UN recognizing the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the area it claims to administer. |
 | | From the tip of the Karpass Peninsula (Cape Apostolos Andreas) in the northeast, the TRNC extends westward to Morphou Bay and Cape Kormakitis (the Kokkina/Erenköy exclave marks the westernmost extent of the TRNC), and southward to the village of Louroujina/Akıncılar. |
 | | The territory between the TRNC and the remainder of Cyprus is separated by a United Nations-controlled buffer zone. |
