The recently published results of the Population Census held by Turkish Cypriots on April 30, 2006, creates a set-back to the cause of bridging the economic gap as measured by the per capita GNP (Gross National Product).
The results show that on the date of the Census the de facto population in northern Cyprus (the occupied part) was 265.100 and the de jure population 256.644. The de jure definition is normally the one used for estimating per capita national product or income."
