NAÏVETÉ of Cyprus
The “TRNC” may currently not be formally recognised, but the bottom line is that the “state” is continuously upgraded.
RECENT FACTS:
(1) TRNC have officials have high level meetings in many countries and at the European Commission.
(2) It has appointed observers in the Council of Europe.
(3) It tries to infiltrate into the European Parliament.
(3) The Europeans continue harping on the necessity for “direct trade” which is tantamount to indirect recognition of the “state”.
(4) The 57 Islamic countries have extended an almost full recognition to the “state”.
(5) And, the EU acknowledges that although EU entry has been awarded to the entire island of Cyprus, it has no Effective control over its a northern territories. This alone stipulates that unless there's a comprehensive, agreed solution by the two Cypriot leaders, "Cyprus" as an EU member state officially stops at the ceasefire line.
