However, in the northern part of the island, in the areas in which the Government of Cyprus does not exercise effective control, EU legislation is suspended in line with Protocol 10 of the Accession Treaty 2003. The situation will change once a Cyprus settlement enters into force and it will then be possible for EU rules to apply over the whole of the island. However, the suspension does not affect the personal rights of Turkish Cypriots as EU citizens. They are citizens of a Member State, the Republic of Cyprus, even though they may live in the northern part of Cyprus, the areas not under government control.
Since when are the TCs under GC government's control? They have their own president and prime minister which are chosen by themselves. Papadopoulos( a man who has an allergy to the word Turk) as the president of TCs would be the greatest joke of all times.
When they visit the areas under Government control which they do on a regular basis.
