Nicosia. An opinion poll conducted in Northern Cyprus says that 50.4% of the Turkish Cypriots would like to see that part of the island continue existing as “an independent state,” the Cypriot Famagusta Gazette writes, citing the Volkan, a Turkish Cypriot newspaper.
Asked how they would like for the Cypriot issue to be resolved, 4.6% of the respondents say they are in favor of a federal state, 20.1% describe the unimplemented Annan plan as the best option, and only 6.6% are in favor of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation.
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has been recognized by Turkey only."
