The Embassy of Northern Cyprus in Ankara is the diplomatic mission of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the Republic of Turkey. It is located in the Gaziosmanpaşa district of Ankara.

However, Turkey recognizes it as an independent state and maintains diplomatic relations. Northern Cyprus is recognized by the international community as a de facto state.[2][3]
History
The Embassy of Northern Cyprus in Ankara was established in 17 April 1984, shortly after the declaration of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Prior to 1984, the institution existed in various names. In 1966, the Turkish Cypriot Community in Cyprus established an Ankara Office, which became the Representation of the Autonomous Turkish Cypriot Administration in Ankara in 1974. In 1975, it was renamed as the Representation of the Head of the Turkish Cypriot Federated State, and in 1983, it began to serve as an Embassy. Since then, the embassy has played an important role in maintaining diplomatic relations between Northern Cyprus and Turkey.[4]
