State Department issues Human Rights Report on Cyprus
The State Department has issued its 2019 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices in Cyprus by repeating its well-known position that since 1974 the southern part of Cyprus has been under the control of the government of the Republic of Cyprus and the northern part of Cyprus is administered by Turkish Cypriot.
It notes that the northern part proclaimed itself the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (“TRNC”) in 1983 but underlines that the United States does not recognize the “TRNC,” nor does any country other than Turkey.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory.
