Turkey wants to annex northern Cyprus

Turkey would consider annexing northern Cyprus if talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriots fail to reach a deal on reunification of the island. Since Cyprus was divided in 1974, both sides of negotiations have not reached any solution for the problem. Turkey's European Affairs Minister Egemen Bagis  said that Turkey would support any decision reached by both sides. Yet he believes that there are only a very few possible outcomes of the negotiations. Bagis considers annexation of northern Cyprus by Turkey as one of the possible outcomes. However, many Turkish Cypriots consider the idea of annexation as absolutely unacceptable. 

Northern Cyprus is not recognized by any state except for Turkey that heavily subsidizes northern Cyprus.
