r/NorthCyprus

So I recently got a mosquito net for my bed. Its one of those ones that is suspended from the ceiling and comes down over the bed like a tent.

Women of Cyprus - would you consider this to be acceptable or think a man was weird if you went back to his house and saw this? Does anyone else have one or do you just risk it/close the windows/use repellant spray? I really like my new net but am worried it looks a bit like a kids princess bed 🤣.

So.... whats peoples opinions on this. I can add a photo tomorrow if people dont know what Im on about.

Hi guys, anybody know any good trustworthy crypto exchange office in Cyprus?
I want to exchange some usdc to euros.

The more I’ve been reading posts/comments under this subreddit about the Cyprus problem, the more I found myself confused about perspectives of Cypriots. I hope to clear at least some of it by asking two hypothetical questions to Cypriot community here, and I would be grateful to anyone taking time to answer those. First, two things about these questions:

1-) These are for both GCs and TCs, I’m interested in both side’s answers (maybe I should cross-post this to r/NorthCyprus as well)
2-) As you may notice, questions have a speculative nature. I’m not looking for right or wrong answers, just what Cypriots think and their reasons to think that way

Now the questions:

1-) If, one day, elected TRNC leadership announces that they feel safe enough without Turkish military presence on the island or future military guarantees, what do you think the chances are for Turkey to sustain occupation in the long term, assuming they wanted to?
2-) If Turkey withdrew to the last soldier tomorrow, what developments/events you would expect to take place one day, one month, one year, several years etc. after withdrawal? I am interested in hearing concrete developments/events (like this this this would happen) instead of opinions/sentiments (like that would be awesome, or catastrophic).

This is a small rant about certain Instagram pages. The Turkish right wing propaganda rumours about giving land are not true (Partially), but these right wingers need to understand that Turkish Cypriots will give land. The point of giving land was going to be done by Denktash himself back in the 80s. Turkish Cypriots where always going to keep (27%). But for the "Trust Building Measures" giving land back for the next 5 years is not and never on the table. These right wing Instagram pages use this propaganda to scare Turkish Cypriots and get views from the settlers so they vote right wing governments. Especially the elections are coming up, we will see even more propaganda which will trigger both sides and push certain anti-peace agenda. I need to say that these rumours have been dismissed by Holguin today, But damage has been done. These days there are a lot of right wing news outlets on Instagram that are run by Turkish settlers that just promote Turkish propaganda. We need our own Cypriot news pages that can promote peace, unity and Cypriot perspectives to fight against these waves.

If you are interested to support alternative (terrible quality but interesting Cypriot page) The Trust building measures are interesting you can learn about it in this video's last 20 mins (Start from 30:00).

I am Greek Cypriot and my fiancé is Turkish, from Türkiye, currently living and working in the TRNC. We are finding it almost impossible to get him to the south.
At the moment, the only option we seem to have is booking an appointment at the Cyprus embassy in Greece, which is a huge inconvenience. But how is he supposed to get a visa to enter Greece when Schengen is not an option for us?
The amount of bureaucracy is overwhelming.
Is it possible for me to apply for a visa on his behalf? Or can we do anything through the TRNC citizens’ office in Lefkoşa? At this point, it honestly feels easier for us to move to another country than to get him to the south.
We were planning to get married in January, but we have just found out that we are expecting a baby, so we will be travelling to Türkiye to register our marriage earlier than we planned.
If we tell them at the border that he is coming to the south so we can get married, would this be allowed? Has anyone been through something similar? Please share your experiences and things that worked for you.

Trying here again, and thank you for the people who have contacted me so far; so many kind souls.

Hi everyone,

I am a resident of Malta, and I recently fell victim to an online scam during a very difficult personal situation. Private investigations have proven that the scammer is a Nigerian national currently living in the TRNC, and he was a former student at the CIU, specifically bioengineering. I have all evidence he is still in TRNC.

I contacted the TRNC police, but they have not replied, and I am unable to travel there in person at the moment. Furthermore, the Maltese authorities and Interpol have informed me that they cannot directly contact law enforcement in the TRNC due to its unique political status.

I am completely desperate. The scammer stole money that both I and my late mother desperately needed. The sudden lack of financial support directly impacted my ability to afford her medication, which heavily contributed to her recent passing.

I want this criminal to face justice, but I am at a complete loss as to what action to take given the lack of international police collaboration. Hiring a private lawyer is simply too expensive for me right now.

Does anyone have a reliable contact within the local police force there, or any other resource that could help me get this person investigated and arrested? I swear on everything I hold dear that my situation and this post are completely legitimate. Thank you.

I have met alot of people that can speak English now but still havent met anyone else that grew up in England/ the UK in general. Just wondered if I was the only one lol. Is anyone else from the UK here and became a citizen/living here long term? Does anyone know anyone that fits this description?

I’m on the north side right now and I’m going to the south side soon, but I don’t have insurance for my car. Am I allowed to park my car in the parking lot on the right side of the road at the deryneia border (Turkish side cross point) and leave my car there for three days? Has anyone ever done this?

Hey everyone! I am trying to find out if there are any active Geometry Dash players, creators, or specific records (like hardest demon completions) from Northern Cyprus (KKTC).

Since Northern Cyprus doesn't have a dedicated flag or section on Pointercrate, players from this region are usually hidden under the general Cyprus (CY) or Turkey (TR) leaderboards.

If you are from Northern Cyprus, or if you know any player/YouTuber from there, please drop their in-game nicknames or channel links below. I'd love to know what the local "hardest level beaten" is! Thanks!

I don’t know why, but if you’re a business owner in Cyprus PLEASE stop choosing to play AI generated music all day long. I’ve noticed this in beach bars, cafes, restaurants, corner stores & even the mall shops. It’s actually torture level annoying, why can’t you just play regular music made by humans? Has anyone else noticed this or can explain to me why this is so popular here?

I was told by the car hire company you could get insurance to cross to the south I was wondering if it's Nicosia only or if we could do it in Famagusta?
