I have a flat in Northern Cyprus.
I am happy that Northern Cyprus is de facto recognized everywhere:
USA's FEDERAL COURT: "NORTHERN CYPRUS IS A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC"
USA's FEDERAL COURT and USA's COURT OF APPEALS REJECTED GREEK CYPRIOTS
==1. USA's FEDERAL COURT REJECTED GREEK CYPRIOTS: THE TOUMAZOU CASE-LAW==
"..Greek Cypriots CANNOT CLAIM that the government in control of Northern Cyprus gave their homes to Turkish Cypriots....
Although the United States does not recognize it as a state, the TRNC purportedly operates as a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC with a president, prime minister, legislature and judiciary...
TRNC is NOT VULNERABLE to a lawsuit in Washington"
