Final thought: Where does this school get its money from - aside from tuition paid by students?
If it's from the Government of the Republic of Cyprus - then Cyprus recognizes the school as its own and that makes it OK.
If it's from Turkey - or there IS no Government funding of any kind - then that's a different ballgame - a REAL school without a country. In that case, it might as well be on a barge floating in the Mediterranean.
It's a Private University - responsible to Turkish authorities in "North Cyprus." Not to the legitimate Government of the Republic of Cyprus. They say so.
That statement and the Turkish names here convince me that "North Cyprus" is not the Republic of Cyprus. And not Turkey either, even if Erdoğan might occasionally think it is. (I'm not sure whether he does or doesn't - not in my wheelhouse. He rents no space in my head.) And therefore, this is a school without a country. Its home is only recognized as a country by one despot, who rules a country with enough Human Rights violations to choke a camel! Fair enough. I'm officially out - and I was never in.
"Faculty of Health and Nursing School are accredited by YODAK (Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council for Turkish Republic of North Cyprus) and YOK (Council Of Higher Education for Turkey)." For me, that says it all. Thank you, Prof. Dr. Ismet Esenyel.
