Why doesn't Turkey drop Cyprus?

I’d reverse the question and ask those who call themselves “Cypriot” why they refuse to drop Turkey or Greece…

Then it wouldn't make sense because Greece doesn't call Cyprus anything other than Cyprus, since it recognises it for being Cyprus.

Turkey has tried all sorts of labels and name changes yet all still inclusive of the name Cyprus (which it doesn't apparently recognise), such as "KKTC" and "TRNC". The label "Turks of Cyprus" suggests they recognise the sovereignty of Cyprus.

The argument was why they cannot drop the name Cyprus ...

Nikitas suggests this important reason:

]Oracle, it is simple: the use of the name Cyprus in a title justifies future claims to the whole island.

If anoyne thinks that the current situation or anything that might result from the talks will make these claims go away is a fool. That is the reason for mass naturalisations and insistence on guarantees and permanent armed presence.

I think because of the historical significance of the name Cyprus (being one of the oldest names for a country), dropping it would unleash international condemnation such that Turkey would lose the status quo it maintains by doing things piecemeal (continuing to use the name Cyprus)...

Why bother asking the obvious GR? Very few will admit otherwise they will tell some untruths.

The simplest answer to the thread title is that it had never occured to them.

This is the most stupid attempt at a reason!

What has any of this to do with Turkey being unable to drop the name of Cyprus from their constructs?
