Due to the inter-communal conflict between the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots at the time, the club did not register to play in the Cypriot First Division and only participated in some friendly matches.
Lefkoşa Türk Spor Kulübü was founded in 1930, and was one of the founding members of the Cypriot First Division in 1934, the sole Turkish Cypriot team in the league (with 7 Greek Cypriot teams: AEL Limassol, Trast AC, Olympiakos Nicosia, Aris Limassol, APOEL, Anorthosis Famagusta, and EPA Larnaca).
Greek Cypriots may bear common Greek surnames, but there are some which are markedly Cypriot Greek; there are some names which indicate place of birth or origin, e.g. Παφίτης being from Paphos, Καϊμακλιώτης being from Kaimakli, and there are some that indicate professional occupation, e.g. Σκαρπάρης "shoemaker", Κωμοδρόμος "smith", etc.
The British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said, "We will respect the choice which Greek Cypriots have expressed today. But I hope that they will continue to reflect on whether this choice is the right one for them."

On the right-hand side of the building, the spot where the tomb of St. Catherine is said to have been was still shown in the 19th century and the Greek Cypriots often come and lit their oil lamps there.
