Turkish forces in Cyprus are part of the Turkish [[Aegean Army]] which is headquartered at [[İzmir]] in Turkey. However, the commander of the Turkish troops reports directly to the [[General Staff of the Republic of Turkey|Turkish General Staff]] in the capital, Ankara. The force is responsible for all security and is not directly involved in political matters of northern Cyprus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hri.org/news/cyprus/tcpr/1998/98-11-19.tcpr.html|title=Cyprus PIO: Turkish Cypriot Press and Other Media, 98-11-19}}</ref>
