Northern Cyprus is not recognized as an independent state because it declared independence in 1983, following Turkey's military intervention in Cyprus in 1974, which was prompted by a Greek-led coup. The international community, including the United Nations, considers it part of the Republic of Cyprus, which is recognized as the legitimate government. Only Turkey recognizes Northern Cyprus, leading to its isolation and lack of international legitimacy. Efforts for reunification have been ongoing but remain unresolved.
It depends on how you count this.The four smallest countries in the Middle East and North Africa are Lebanon, Cyprus, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (from largest to smallest). Lebanon is the smallest, clearly recognized country that is clearly in the Middle East. Cyprus is the smallest, clearly recognized country in the Middle East region, but there is debate as to whether Cyprus is in the Middle East or in Europe. The State of Palestine is smaller than Cyprus and clearly in the Middle East, but it is not clearly recognized. The Turkish Republic of Cyprus is the smallest, but is not clearly in the Middle East (for the same reasons as Cyprus more generally) and is only recognized by Turkey.

Northern Cyprus declared independence in 1983, but it is recognized only by Turkey and is not considered an independent country by the international community. The region's status remains a contentious issue, with ongoing negotiations and discussions about reunification with the southern part of Cyprus.
