TitleCyprus, Northern: Political Parties Material
Reference codePP.CYN
Date1984-
Scope and ContentPlatforms, manifestos, constitutions, speeches, interviews and posters from 1984 onwards issued by the National Unity Party (Cyprus, Northern) and the Social Democratic Party (Cyprus, Northern).
NotesFollowing the events of 1974 the de facto administration of Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus unilaterally declared itself first the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" in 1975 and then in 1983 the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus", although only Turkey officially recognised the new state. Throughout this period (in which negotiations with the Greek Cypriots continued intermittently) it was led by Rauf Denktas of the resolutely seperatist and anti-communist National Unity Party, from which the majority of the materials held here originate.
