The Turkish Cypriots established an independent government for what they called the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (TFSC), with Rauf Denktaş as president.
In 1974, this village was secured so as to be placed within a contiguous Turkish Cypriot zone, which later became in 1975, the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus, then in 1983, the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
In 1975, the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (Kıbrıs Türk Federe Devleti) was declared as a first step towards a future federated Cypriot state, but was rejected by the Republic of Cyprus and the United Nations.
This unilateral declaration of independence was rejected by the UN and the Republic of Cyprus.
