In 1974 the northern part of the island was illegally invaded by Turkey and colonised by people from the Turkish mainland; it subsequently declared itself the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus in 1983, which is not recognised by the international community due to its illegality.
Therefore Cyprus as recognised by all foreign governments, aside from Turkey, Cyprus is run by a Greek Cypriot government and is therefore Greek.
