Τurkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti, KKTC, pronounced Kuzey Kibris Türk Tzumhuriyeti) is the Turkish name for the northern part of the Republic of Cyprus, which has been under illegal Turkish occupation since 1974 in violation of International Law Right. Turkey declared these occupied territories a state, under the name: Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) (in Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti), in violation of the United Nations Charter in 1983, splitting the Republic of Cyprus . This declaration was made nine years after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on the occasion of the Greek Cypriot attempt to overthrow President Makarios and replace him with Nikolaos Samson, led by the Greek Junta of Colonels of Dimitrios Ioannidis |talk]]) 00:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

The page refers to Norther Cyprus as an official state called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). This is a false statement and should not be allowed!

This entry is misleading in its statement that the region is "officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus". It is an illegally occupied region unrecognised by any other state so to say official is incorrect. It could be stated that the Turkish state names it as such but otherwise it's simply Cyprus. 51.6.43.170 (talk) 16:54, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Not done: The use of the word "officially" refers to its own official description of itself, unrelated to what other states recognise it as. This usage also occurs in the articles on Somaliland, Taiwan, and Abkhazia. Liu1126 (talk) 10:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
I would agree that the use of "officially" is inappropriate. Nobody other than Turkey recognises the TRNC. I would suggest that we need to reword it along these lines:
"Northern Cyprus comprises the northeastern portion of the island of Cyprus. It is recognised only by Turkey as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), while its territory is considered by the international community to be part of the Republic of Cyprus."
There is no higher body that regulates official names, they are determined by their relevant officials. It is at any rate an alternative name for the topic, not a different topic as that rewrite implies. CMD (talk) 01:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
