The northern part of the island has proclaimed itself an independent state, but only Turkey recognizes it.

Turkey recognized Indonesia on 29 December 1949 and diplomatic relations were established in 1950.

"Turkey has recognized the Kurdish reality," he said.

Only Turkey recognizes the northern administration and it has kept more than 35,000 troops in the sector.

Turkey will never recognise this story of an Armenian genocide.

Since then, France has urged Turkey to recognize the 1915 massacre genocide.

Turkey should also recognise the genocide to which the Armenian people was exposed between 1915 and 1918.

Turkey does not recognise the 25th state, wants one port, then two ports and all of us are just watching, passively.

Turkey recognized the independence of Finland on February 21, 1918.
