Osman Ertuğ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Mr. Osman Ertuğ is the de facto ambassador of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to the United States of America. As the TRNC is not recognized as sovereign, his title is officially that of Representative of the Turkish Cypriot Community in Washington DC.

Mr. Ertuğ served as the Representative of the TRNC in New York (de facto Chief of Mission to the United Nations) before taking up his Washington DC posting. He is regarded by the TRNC Foreign Ministry as a very capable diplomat.

Mr. Ertuğ is one of the framers of the TRNC's Unilateral Declaration of Independence.
