Is south Cyprus still a sovereign state? What about the TRNC?



Have UK courts therefore got any jurisdiction in the TRNC?

You're opening up a can of worms with those questions.

If you look up the meaning of "sovereign state" on any dictionary,you should understand why TRNC is not a sovereign state.

Quick answers



ROC is a sovereign state, TRNC isn't. UK courts have no jurisdiction in TRNC.





(I told you they were quick, not necessarily detailed or correct but at least arguable!)

Northern Cyprus – Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus



* Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs – Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti



De facto independent state that is recognised only by Turkey. It was accepted as an observer state of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference under the name of the Turkish Cypriot State since 1979. In addition, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic regards TRNC as sovereign but Azerbaijan (the sovereign state that Nakhichevan belongs to) has not followed suit. Northern Cyprus is claimed in whole by the Republic of Cyprus.[66]
