Containing text espousing human rights and a desire to live side by side with the Greek Cypriot population, it ended with a declaration that Northern Cyprus was an independent nation independent and sovereignty sovereign state, naming the entity the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus . The Turkish Cypriot Parliament passed a unanimous resolution later that day ratifying the declaration. International reaction The United Nations Security Council issued two resolutions United Nations Security Council Resolution 541 541 and United Nations Security Council Resolution 550 550 proclaiming that the Turkish Cypriot UDI was illegal and requesting that no other sovereign state should recognize the legality of the declaration and asked for its withdrawal. In 22 July 2010, United Nations International Court of Justice decided in relation to Kosovo that International law contains no prohibition on declarations of independence see Political status of Kosovo . Every year with each new resolution the UN Security Council reaffirms its previous resolutions. To date, only Turkey has given formal recognition, though the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation recognizes the TRNC as a constituent state of the CyprusRepublic of Cyprus .

distinguish2 the CyprusRepublic of Cyprus . Cyprus is an area in the London Docklands Docklands area of the London Borough of Newham . It is located west of Beckton and north of the eastern end of the Royal Albert Dock . History It is named after the Cyprus Estate , a housing estate built for workers at the Royal Albert Dock , which opened in 1881. The estate was named to commemorate the United Kingdom s Cyprus Convention acquisition of the island of Cyprus in 1878. It was built on one of the few pieces of land not owned by the Port of London Authority , and hence was open to such development. In 1981 during the London Docklands Redevelopment redevelopment of the London Docklands , Cyprus was the location of the first new private housing development in the Docklands for many years, and the first sponsored by the London Docklands Development Corporation . It was considered a success in generating a balanced community and prompted further housing developments throughout the docklands. ref http www.lddc history.org.uk beckton index.html LDDC Completion Booklets Beckton ref Area today Image DLR Cyprus.jpg thumb The area is served by a DLR station The area remains mainly a residential one, with few local commercial services, aside from the presence of the University of East London whose University of East London Docklands Campus Docklands campus was opened in 1999 and is located on the quayside.
