The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Northern Cyprus:
Northern Cyprus – de facto independent republic[1][2][3] on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Officially it is the northern territory of the Republic of Cyprus.[4] The territory includes the Kokkina exclave, a pene-enclave "of" the rest of Cyprus, partly surrounded by sea.
The TRNC declared independence in 1983, nine years after a Greek Cypriot coup attempting to annex the island to Greece triggered an invasion by Turkey. It has received diplomatic recognition only from Turkey, on which it is dependent for economic, political and military support. The rest of the international community, including the United Nations and European Union, recognises the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the whole island.
