Yes and No. Officially, the Republic of Cyprus is recognized by all countries except Turkey as having de jure control of the entire island (except for the UK bases of Akotiri and Dhelika). However, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and created the puppet state called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) which controls the northern third of the island of Cyprus. All countries other than Turkey view this as an unlawful occupation of sovereign Cypriot territory.
