Evaluation Will Not Be Approved for Illegally Operating Higher Education Institutions in the Occupied Areas of the Republic of Cyprus.
Status of Institutions:
Institutions claiming to operate as universities in the areas of the Republic of Cyprus that have been under Turkish military occupation since 1974 are considered unlawful entities.
They have not been established or licensed under the laws and regulations of the Republic of Cyprus governing higher education.
These institutions function under the so-called “law” of the self-proclaimed “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (TRNC), which — according to international law and United Nations Security Council Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984) — is legally invalid and recognized only by Turkey.
Therefore, any qualifications issued by such institutions are not recognized, and evaluations of these qualifications will not be approved by the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) or by other competent authorities following international recognition standards.
