Backed by the Ankara government and by some 35,000 Turkish soldiers, a separate Turkish-Cypriot homeland has come into being in a blaze of nationalistic ardor. The red Turkish flag with the white crescent and star flutters from minarets, from official buildings, and from the historic St. Hilarion Castle atop the Kyrenia range. On every second building, signs proclaim: "What we have gained by blood we shall build by sweat...
