Cyprus–Turkey relations

EN Texto en inglés Aún no hay artículo en tu idioma: extracto en inglés.

Since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 following a coup, Cyprus has been de facto divided into a Greek Cypriot south (Republic of Cyprus) and a Turkish Cypriot north (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). Turkey does not recognize the internationally recognized government of the Republic of Cyprus and does not maintain diplomatic relations with it. Instead, Ankara recognizes only Northern Cyprus, which is not recognized by any country other than Turkey and is almost completely dependent on Turkey economically and politically. This unresolved core issue continues to strain all areas of Cypriot-Turkish relations to this day. Turkey has imposed a trade boycott on the Republic of Cyprus, which in turn, as a member of the European Union since 2004, has blocked Turkey's accession to the EU.
