Northren Cyprus or North Cyprus (Turkis: Kuzey Kıbrıs‎), formally named the Turkish Republic o Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (Turkis: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti‎ (KKTC),^[1]), is a de facto state^[2]^[3]^[4] locatit in the northren portion o the island o Cyprus. Tensions atween the Greek Cypriot an Turkish Cypriot populations culminatit in 1974 wi a coup d'état, an attempt tae annex the island tae Greece an a military invasion bi Turkey in response resultit in a partitionin o the island,^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] the resettlement o mony o its inhabitants, an, eventually, a unilateral declaration o unthrildom bi the north in 1983. Northren Cyprus haes received diplomatic recognition anerlie frae Turkey,^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12] upon which it is dependent for economic, poleetical an military support. The rest o the internaitional community, includin the Unitit Naitions an the European Union, recognises the de jure sovereignty o the Republic o Cyprus ower the entire island.

Attempts tae reach a solution tae the dispute hae so far been unsuccessful. In 2004 a fift revision o the UN Annan Plan tae settle the Cyprus dispute wis acceptit bi a majority o Turkish Cypriots in a referendum, but rejectit bi a majority o Greek Cypriots. The Turkish Airmy maintains a lairge force in Northren Cyprus; its presence is supportit an approved bi the de facto local government, but the Republic o Cyprus an the internaitional community regard it as an illegal occupation force, an its presence haes an aa been denoonced in several United Nations Security Council resolutions.^[13]

Northern Cyprus extends frae the tip o the Karpass Peninsula (Cape Apostolos Andreas) in the northeast, wastward tae Morphou Bay an Cape Kormakitis (the Kokkina/Erenköy exclave marks the wastrenmaist extent o the aurie), an soothward tae the village o Louroujina/Akıncılar. A buffer zone unner the control o the Unitit Naitions stretches atween Northren Cyprus an the rest o the island an divides Nicosia, the island's lairgest ceety an caipital o baith states.
