The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continues to push for recognition and each day its calls grow stronger with more hearing it. Whilst it strengthens its case for recognition, it engages in cross-community confidence-building measures to ensure that Greek and Turkish Cypriots find closure, and are reunited with their missing relatives following the Greek Cypriot and Greek-led coup in 1974.

All attempts to reunify Cyprus have failed, largely owing to political maneuvering by the South, however the Turkish Cypriot side has been attempting to foster collaboration in other ways – reuniting the dead with their families has been the most effective.
