Aerial images of Turkish and the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) flags painted on the Pentadaktylos (Five Fingers) mountain range north of the island of Cyprus. Turkish Cypriots are to cast their ballots for a snap legislative election in the breakaway northern third of the Mediterranean island after a campaign dominated by an economic crisis. Cyprus has been split since 1974 when Turkish forces occupied the northern part of the island in response to a military coup sponsored by the junta in power in Greece at the time. AERIAL SHOTS
