Republic of Cyprus Attitude To BRT
The internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus government regards BRT as a 'pirate broadcaster,' and prefaces any quotes from BRT in their own news releases with the phrase 'Illegal Bayrak Television.' It is common practise with the Republic of Cyprus to call many Turkish Cypriot establishments "Illegal", not only Turkish radio stations are regarded as illegal, but also Turkish Cypriot ports, hotels, military establishment, and the Turkish Cypriot government is regarded as "illegal" by the Republic of Cyprus. This is similar to the fact that the Republic of Cyprus refers to the Turkish Cypriot President as the "Turkish Cypriot leader", and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus refer to the Greek Cypriot president as simply the "Greek Cypriot Leader", vice-versa.

Famous quotes containing the words republic of, republic and/or attitude:
“Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
