Changements identitaires à Chypre du Nord : les Chypriotes turcs face à l’immigration turque

Changing Identities in Northern Cyprus: Turkish Cypriots Faced with Turkish Immigration As territories possessing internal sovereignty but lacking international recognition, de facto states are often apprehended from the outside on the basis of geopolitical factors. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is thus generally considered through the lens of its relationships with the Republic of Cyprus (Greek) and Turkey. An approach based on semi-directive interviews with political actors and ordinary citizens sheds new light on this entity. In particular, it allows one to study the dynamics of social cleavage between Turkish immigrants and Turkish Cypriots, a fundamental issue that allows one to explain the evolution of feelings of belonging to the Cypriot identity and the Turkish nation. ■
