This state was not recognised by the international community. It was succeeded by the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]].
== History == The UN Secretary-General came to Cyprus on 25–26 December 1974, and demanded that bilateral talks be initiated between the two communities. After the [[Autonomous Turkish Cypriot Administration]] was declared on 1 October 1974, the second phase was put into effect unilaterally{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}} on 13 February 1975 with the declaration of the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus by the Chairman of the Administration [[Rauf Denktaş]], in the Autonomous Turkish Administration Assembly of Cyprus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/history/republic/1975.html|title=Cyprus History: 1975 Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (TFSC)|website=www.cypnet.co.uk}}</ref>
In 1975, the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" was declared as a first step towards a future federated Turkish Cypriot state, but was rejected by the Republic of Cyprus, the UN, and the international community. The [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 367]] stated regret for the declaration, however, it was not regarded as a [[unilateral declaration of independence]] and an attempt at breaking away.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Safty|first1=Adel|title=The Cyprus Question: Diplomacy and International Law|date=2011|publisher=iUniverse|isbn=9781450261524|pages=180|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LbeZazqWQM4C&dq=turkish+cypriot+federated+state+rejected&pg=PA139|accessdate=8 March 2015}}</ref> The Turkish Cypriot leadership, headed by [[Rauf Denktaş]], hoped that the Greek Cypriots would treat them as equals and proceed to proclaim their own [[federated state]]. Meanwhile, the transition from an "administration" to a state enabled Turkish Cypriots to write their own constitution. In the [[Northern Cyprus general election, 1976|1976 elections]], the [[National Unity Party (Northern Cyprus)|National Unity Party]] of Denktaş received 53.7% of votes and gained the majority in the National Council. This parliament then proceeded with the debating and writing of the constitution. All political parties agreed on a federal solution to the problem with continued guarantee of security by [[Turkey]]. Moreover, the debates were centered on ideological, social and economical grounds, with the opposition parties [[Republican Turkish Party]] and [[Communal Liberation Party]] advocating a parliamentary system and criticising the draft constitution due to the powers it gave to the president.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Isachenko|first1=Daria|title=The Making of Informal States: Statebuilding in Northern Cyprus and Transdniestria|date=2012|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=9780230392076|pages=44–45|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FQeVnXmjBzYC&dq=cyprus+dispute+between+turkish+cypriots+greek+cypriots&pg=PA44|accessdate=8 March 2015}}</ref>
After eight years of failed negotiations between the Greek and Cypriot Turkish community, the North [[Declaration of Independence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus|declared its independence]] on 15 November 1983 under the name of the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]]. This unilateral declaration of independence was rejected by the UN via [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 541|Security Council Resolution 541]].
