The flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti Bayrağı), a Independent state since 1983, recognised only by Turkey, is based on the flag of Turkey with the colors reversed and two horizontal red stripes added at the top and bottom. It was the result of a competition to find a new representative flag for the TRNC.
Kyrenia Range
The Turkish and TRNC flags were drawn on the Kyrenia Mountains, facing south (35°16′58″N 33°22′31″E / 35.282902°N 33.375263°E). "Ne Mutlu Türküm Diyene" is written beneath the Turkish flag in white—an oft-repeated phrase of Kemalism.
In 2010 the Greek Cypriot side officially complained about the flag to the EU Commission, framed as an environmental hazard because of toxic materials used to transpose it into the mountain side that are liable to leakage. It is also considered by Greek Cypriots as offensive not only to the environment but also their own community and as an act of provocation.[2]
