"TRNC" is the turkish term for the territory occupied in 1974 from the Republic of Cyprus and ethnically cleansed from its Greek-Cypriot inhabitants. Get your facts straight.

This state is not recognised by the International Community except from Turkey. The Legal state is the Republic Of Cyprus. The pseudostate was created by Turkey after the invasion of Turkish troops in Cyprus on 1974. Αυτό το κράτος δεν αναγνωρίζεται από τη διεθνή Κοινότητα εκτός από από την Τουρκία. Το νόμιμο κράτος είναι η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία. Το ψευδοκράτος δημιουργήθηκε από την Τουρκία μετά από την εισβολή των τουρκικών στρατευμάτων στην Κύπρο το 1974.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a de facto independent republic located in northern Cyprus within the internationally recognised borders of the Republic of Cyprus. The TRNC declared its independence in 1983, nine years after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus following an attempt to unite the island with Greece. It is dependent on and recognized only by Turkey. The United Nations recognizes the de jure sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the whole island.

Turkey invaded Cyprus on July 20, 1974, after unsuccessfully trying to get support from one of the other guarantor forces - Britain. Heavily armed troops landed shortly before dawn at Kyrenia (Girne) on the northern coast. Ankara claimed that it was invoking its right under the Treaty of Guarantee to protect the Turkish Cypriots and guarantee the independence of Cyprus – a claim which is still being contested by Greeks and Greek Cypriots. The operation, codenamed 'Operation Atilla', is known in the north as 'the 1974 Peace Operation'.
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus declared "legally invalid"

In 1983 the subordinate local administration in the north declared independence under the name Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Immediately upon this declaration Britain convened a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to condemn the declaration as "legally invalid".

UN Security Council Resolution 541(1983) considered the "attempt to create the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is invalid, and will contribute to a worsening of the situation in Cyprus". It went on to state that it "Considers the declaration refereed to above as legally invalid and calls for its withdrawal".

Return of Varosha

In the following year UN resolution 550(1984) condemned the "exchange of Ambassadors" between Turkey and the TRNC and went on to add that the Security Council "Considers attempts to settle any part of Varosha by people other than its inhabitants as inadmissible and calls for the transfer of this area to the administration of the United Nations".

To this day, neither Turkey nor the TRNC have complied with the above resolutions and Varosha remains deserted.
