Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: Encyclopedia II - Turkish new lira - History

Owing to the chronic inflation experienced in Turkey from the 1970s through to the 1990s, the Turkish lira experienced severe depreciation in value. Turkey has had high inflation rates compared to developed countries but has never suffered hyperinflation. From an average of 9 lira per U.S. dollar in the late 1960s, the currency came to trade at approximately 1.65 million lira per U.S. dollar in late 2001. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had called this problem a "national shame". In late December 2003, the Turkish Parliament passed a law which allows for the removal of six zeroes from the currenc ...

Therefore, in the eyes of the Turkish community, it became urgent for them to have their own radio station as the Greek ...

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: Encyclopedia II - Cyprus reunification referendum 2004 - Reasons for rejection

The main reason for the 75 percent "no" vote among Greek Cypriots in the referendum was the general perception that the Annan Plan was unbalanced and excessively pro-Turkish, and that it would not safeguard Greek Cypriot rights in the north. Political leaders in both controlled area of Republic of Cyprus and Greece also influenced the Greek Cypriot vote by strongly opposing the plan.

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: Encyclopedia II - Cyprus dispute - Historical background prior to 1960

As with so much relating to the Cyprus Dispute, the starting date of the conflict is open to argument and controversy. Most Greek Cypriots will hypothesize an uninterrupted Greek presence on the island dating back four thousand years. The Turkish presence on the island is far more recent, dating back to the conquest of the island by the Ottoman Empire in 1571. However, as many Turkish Cypriots will point out, this nevertheless gives the Turkish Cypriots a four hundred year old right to regard the island as their home. In more contemporary te ...

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: Encyclopedia II - Akrotiri and Dhekelia - History

The Sovereign Base Areas were created in 1960 by the Treaty of Establishment, when Cyprus, a colony within the British Empire was granted independence. The United Kingdom wished to retain sovereignty over these areas, as it guaranteed the use of UK military bases in Cyprus, including RAF Akrotiri, and a garrison of the British Army. The importance of the Bases to the British is based on: the strategic location of Cyprus at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean, close to the Suez Canal and the Middle East; the ability to use the RAF base as staging post for mili ...

The Tylliria/Dillirga region, where Erenköy/Kokkina is situated, had been a place of intense confrontation between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities during the inter-communal struggle of 1963-1964.
