Notes:

“TRNC” is the name used by Turks to call the territory they occupy since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and illegally occupied the northern part of the Republic of Cyprus. “TRNC” is the result of ethnically cleansing the majority of the native Cypriot population from this occupied part and replacing them with Turkish settlers from Turkey.
For the above reasons “TRNC” is not recognized by any country in the world expect Turkey who illegally declared it against all International laws and by violating the human rights of 100s of thousands of people.

Bayrak is the mouthpiece of the Turkish occupying force in Cyprus. They produce various propaganda materials in an effort to present the illegal entity of “TRNC” as a normal state.
