Salamis is an ancient Greek city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, at the mouth of the river Pedieos, six km north of modern Famagusta. According to tradition, the founder of Salamis was Teucer, son of Telamon, king of the Greek island of Salamis ,who could not return home after the Trojan war because he had failed to avenge his brother Ajax.
Northern Cyprus, officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC; Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti, KKTC), is a de facto state that comprises the north eastern portion of the island of Cyprus.Recognised only by Turkey, Northern Cyprus is considered by all other states to be part of the Republic of Cyprus.
No nation other than Turkey has officially recognised Northern Cyprus as a sovereign state. The United Nations recognises it as territory of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.
