The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a de facto state that comprises the northern portion of the island of Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus became autonomous in 1974 with the support of Turkey, and in 1983 declared independence, but has not gained international recognition. Northern Cyprus is considered by the international community to be part of the Republic of Cyprus. Presumably for Wikimedia Commons purposes the copyright laws of Cyprus may be considered to apply.
Background edit
Northern Cyprus has Chapter 264 copyright law, consisting of only 4 articles. It refers to the 1911 Copyright Law of the United Kingdom for any missing parts of the law. Therefore, the 1911 Copyright Law is applied in Northern Cyprus.
Freedom of panorama edit

OK: 1911 U.K. copyright law still applies in Northern Cyprus (source) which allows Freedom of Panorama.
