Actually a total of 4 countries has recognized N. Cyprus so far. Pakistan and Bangladesh recognized N. Cyprus in the past but they were forced to unrecognize by UN. Libya is the last country to recognize Northern Cyprus (2011).

Turkey invade Cyprus this is illegal there are no turkocypriots only Turkish invaders
-
This video is so one sided. Greece sent its army there before Turkey did. So if there is an occupation or invasion, it is Greek, not Turkish. Why did they send their army there? To talk? To have a picnic? They were ethnically cleaning the Island from the Turks. No one sends their army overseas for a tea or anything peaceful. If we hadn't interfered back then, Greek army wouldn't leave even a single soul alive.

NOW I'M WRITING THE TRUTH BRFORE 1974 as I LIVED WHEN.
after WW2 greek cypriots accepted the ideology 'enosis'. Means uniting for byzanthine. Turkish rejected it and started a diplomatic war. Greek Cypriots leader was a religionman and was not a man of diplomacy. He wanted the help of greece and with a commander they created the group EOKA. EOKA was a conservative enosis group and thaught young kids that Turks are our enemy. After then the peaciful island divided. EOKA killed thousands of Turkish civillians and Greeks who does not supported enosis. To answer Turks called UN to interrupt these- nothing happened. Turkey sent a warning 'jet flight' over cyprus and EOKA stopped action for 1 year. In 1972 EOKA became the 'enosisian-Terror-Group'. Killed ten thousands of Turks and so Turkey invade the island.
Thank you for reading. -
Another opinion is that from this whole Cypriot conflict, British were the real winners...

The turks were utterly demolished in the battle of Lepanto when they fought agaisnt Spain and other major christian crusaders
-
Cyprus is belongs Turks

I have a holiday home in the south near the British controlled area and I often go out and seed famaguta (the abondened city there). It's like a horror movie because it looks so dead.

hayır bunu izleyen bir türk varsaki şunu söylim kıbrısın bölünme sebebi kıbrısta yaşıyan türklere edilen zulümlerdir bu yüzden türkler ayaklanarak kktc yi kurmuşlardır

So the UN fucked it up

Απορώ γιατί δεν έμαθαν το μάθημα τους;Μόνο που έγινε πραξικόπημα,δεν είναι δύσκολο να καταλάβουν ότι θα διαλυθούν σε όλους τους τομείς

FUCK TURKEY
-
Turkey needs to man the fuck up and give back the Greek's rightful territories. Turks are nothing but savages who conquer and pillage. They took over half of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean world.
-
Cyprous is Greek. It has always been
-
I can't believe that towns like Famagusta are left behind in Cyprus.
