TheTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has been fighting and divided from the Greece Republic of Southern Cyprus since 1974. Since the beginning Greecehas given minority to Turkey in all aspects of the island, pushing Muslims to feel threatened and try to protect their religion. In fact in 1964 Turkeyattempted to invade Cyprus but was stopped by the U.S.A president. 10 years later on 1974 turkey send a military invasion on the island attacking all positionsof Greece in Cyprus. The Turkish Republic of northern Cyprus declared its independence in 1983.

The delegation of TRNC is in agreement with thereunification of Cyprus because it would help the island to grow and improve as a country. TRNC believes that in order to unify the both sides, the leaders of eachside of the island must specified to what are they committed to do in order to unify the country again.
