	Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti) is a de facto country proclaimed in northern Cyprus in 1983, nine years after the Turkish military intervened with a large-scale landing of troops on the island (20 July 1974) in response to a Greek-engineered coup d'etat.
		Turkey was among the Guarantors of the Republic of Cyprus.
		The number of seats assigned to Cyprus in the European Parliament (6 seats) is based on the population of the entire island, despite the fact that the residents of Northern Cyprus - Turkish Cypriots and Anatolian Turks alike - currently cannot participate in the election process.

		Cyprus, owing to its strategic position, was throughout its history colonized by some of the most influential colonial powers in the Eastern Mediterranean.
		Following the coup d’ etat against the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, a statement was issued by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the nine members of the EEC, on 16th July 1974.
		Thus, the Cyprus problem figures prominently in the stipulating principles of the Accession Partnership between the Union and Turkey that “the European Union encourages Turkey, together with all parties, to continue to support the UN Secretary General’s efforts to bring the process, aiming at a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem, to a successful conclusion”.

		The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti [KKTC]) is a de facto state, which controls the northern third of the island of Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean.
		The territory between the TRNC and the remainder of Cyprus is seperated by a United Nations-controlled buffer zone.
		The Nakhchivan Autononomous Republic (which is an exclave of the Republic of Azerbaijan), issued a resolution recognizing the TRNC as a sovereign state but as Nakhchivan's status is not that of an independent state, this is not regarded as official diplomatic recognition.

		The Zürich Agreement (1959) between Turkey and Greece produced a bi-communal constitutional framework for Cyprus which recognised the equality of the two `communities' in many important matters and a large degree of political and cultural separateness.

		The new republic took over sovereignty from the British on August 16, 1960, after eighty-two years of British rule, much of it troubled.

		As is well known, the Constitution was overthrown in 1963-65 as the result of Greek Cypriot pressure, the extremes of violence they used to obtain their ends, and the acquiescence of the international community to this situation, including that of Britain, a Guarantor Power of the 1960 treaties.
		After the Turkish military intervention in 1974 under the terms of the Treaty of Guarantee and the establishment of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus, negotiations for a reunification of the island began under the auspices of the United Nations.
		However, the ready assumption by the international community in general, and the UN in particular, that Cyprus had been established as a coherent state with one sovereignty, one territory and one citizenship led to the acceptance without much debate of a set of expectations that this essentially confederal state was most unlikely to fulfil.
