Cyprus (Turkish post) 2010

Cyprus (Turkish post)

Date of Issue: 28th May 2010

two stamps (2x 0.80 YTL)

This set is only sold as a 4 stamps block set (2 sets), not just the paire !

Those two stamps are also issued in a booklet of 4 stamps (two of each)

NOTE : the stamps issued by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus aren't recognized on an international level, not by the UPU nor by PostEurop.

But as most Europa stamps collectors collect those stamps anyway, I decided to publish them on my blog, from now on, even if they aren't official stamp issues.
