Do Turkish Cypriots Have The Right To Statehood Under International Law' Introduction On November 15, 1983 the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was proclaimed by the unanimous vote of the Legislative Assembly of the hitherto Turkish Federated State of Cyprus, which was a democratic representative body of the Turkish people of Cyprus.
