Territory and Cyprus Question: A North Perspective
The issues of territory and citizenship from the beginning have had a central
place in the Cyprus Question. This study aims to analyze the importance
of territory for the Cyprus Question from the Turkish Cypriot perspective.
In doing so, it examines firstly the Turkish Cypriots’ claims over Cyprus
from historical perspectives to have territorial rights, and secondly Turkish
Cypriot government’s policy of citizenship and migration in defining North
Cyprus as a new national land. This has occurred after the 1974 Turkish
intervention that led to the partition of the island into two administrative regions:
Republic of Cyprus (RoC), internationally recognized (except Turkey),
and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), only recognized by
Turkey. The border since 1974 has separated Greek and Turk communities
both physically and mentally and defined Turkish Cypriot national space
and society against the principal others, Greek Cypriots. All attempts to
settle down the Cyprus Question have to face that reality. This study argues
that the partition of the island makes the question of territory for both the
Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots more complicated matter, and
TRNC citizenship policy and the debate on migration influence the public
opinion about the Cyprus Question in North Cyprus
