Turkish Nicosia District is a Consequence of Occupation, Not the Zurich Agreements
An opinion article questions the legitimacy foundations of the Turkish municipal council of Nicosia, arguing that this administrative structure is a direct consequence of the Turkish occupation of 1974. The author contests that such a Turkish district existed before 1974 or was constitutionally enshrined in the Cypriot Republic. The organizers of the Cyprus Forum, where many participants are expected, are criticized for these positions.
