Cyprus access - There is no Official Turkish Cypriot administrative in the island.
Turkey occupied the North part of the island by violence in 1974, and sent away 200.000 persons (refugees) from their homes The only country that regognizes the North part of the island as official state, is Turkey.
You have to mention that the North part of the island is only officially accesible from Cyprus Rebublic's official airports (Larnaka-Pafos). Anyone who arrives in the island throw the illegable airports of the Northern
part, might have problems with Cyprus republic's laws if he attempt to pass to the Southern part of the island.
