(Belated for edit conflict) Let me try to respond to that: I already said before that we are not at an international meeting discussing the accreditation of the TRNC delegates. We are writing an encyclopedia and that is it. Even as I see unnecessary, let me refer you to the sovereign territories  called British Bases which even have their ""customs administration"" and ""police"". Read well especially the last two articles. You will see that there is another ""sovereignty"" on part of the Island of Cyprus. (Only for whipping brains: Even if there were no Cyprus question at all, -maybe some day, when the ""United Republic of Cyprus"" is established-, still the sovereignty over the island would be split, between that of this Republic and UK.)
