This listing does not imply that the site moderators recognize or in any way approve of the claim by Turkey that the Turkish Repulbic of Northern Cyprus is a state independent of Cyprus. Its separate listing here does not reflect any support for its independence on the part of the moderators . It is their policy to list all de facto countries only because the independent authorities which control them might interfere with permissions to celebrate traditional Catholic masses. In the case of Northern Cyprus, all the information for Cyprus (q.v.) is applicable, although it should be noted that the rule of a Muslim authority has, in this case, driven many Christians out of the area.
