26. Cyprus: Political Divisions and Districts
Cyprus gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, with the UK, Greece, and Turkey retaining limited rights to intervene in internal affairs. Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided, de facto, into the Greek-Cypriot controlled southern two-thirds of the island and the Turkish-Cypriot northern one-third. The Republic of Cyprus is the internationally recognized government of Cyprus, which controls the southern two-thirds of the island. Turkey aside, all foreign governments and the United Nations recognize the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the whole island of Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot administration of the northern part of the island, together with Turkey, does not accept the Republic's rule over the whole island and refers to it as the "Greek Authority of Southern Cyprus". They occupy the northern third of the island, following the military invasion by Turkey. The area occupied by Turkey proclaimed its independence in 1975, and the self-styled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established in This state was recognized only by Turkey. The Organization of the Islamic Conference granted it observer member status under the name of "Turkish Cypriot State." The other power with territory on Cyprus is the United Kingdom. Under the independence agreement, the UK retained title to two areas on the southern coast of the island, around Akrotiri and Dhekelia, known collectively as the UK sovereign base areas. They are used as military bases.
