Flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is missing #1268
Comments
Let's keep it simple. I suggest only countries that have been recognized by the United Nations assembly should be included in this javascript package. Here is the current list: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states. The so called turkish republic of northen cyprus came into existence after the Turkish invasion of independent democratic state of Cyprus, incurring the displacement and extermination of indigenous Greek-Cypriot speaking population from the turkish invading army and its replacement moslty by turkish settlers moved from mainland turkey, as a pretext of protecting the indigenous turkish-cypriots. The so called republic has been recognized only by turkey itself in the early 1980's. Since then, after so many years, no other country has ever recognized this republic. United Nations Security Council Resolution 541 (1983) considered the "attempt to create the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is invalid, and will contribute to a worsening of the situation in Cyprus". |
Just a little note: After Pakistan and Bangladesh recognized the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, they gave up recognition due to pressure from the USA and England. On 18 November 1983, UN Security Council resolution 541 called on member states not to recognize the declaration of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Based on the statement in the decision, Türkiye and TRNC defend the view that the final decision lies with the member states. The UN and the EU recognize some TRNC institutions and organizations as legal. For example, in the exchange made after 1974, the TRNC Immovable Property Commission gave the Turkish lands in the south to the Greeks whose lands remained in the north of the island in return; It has been officially recognized as a domestic remedy by the European Court of Human Rights. Also, this is an open source library. I think all kinds of flags representing a nation should be included here. It should be your own choice whether to use this flag in your project or not. |
