Best to ask the UK Works & Pension department.

Yes, TRNC counts as Turkey for UK pensions. This is a fairly recent chznge following progress of Turkey applying to join the EU. Previously you did not get the annual increases. You can check this on the DWP's website.

My mother lived in TRNC fron 1982 to 1998 and always received the State Pension increases. She was classed as living in Turkey.
