What happened to Northern Cyprus in the Cyberpunk universe (2020–2077)?

In Cyberpunk lore, Northern Cyprus (Northern Cyprus Quarantine Cordon & Corporate Transit Zone) is aligned with EEC Security Directorate, Petrochem & SovOil. In 2020 (● MILITARIZED QUARANTINE PERIMETER, Sovereignty 8%): By 2020, Northern Cyprus operates as an armed corporate cordon financed by Brussels and Petrochem to police the edge of the Mideast glass desert. By 2077 (● AUTOMATED BORDER GARRISON, Sovereignty 9%): In 2077, Northern Cyprus is governed by a joint corporate-military directorate overseeing automated solar fields, desalination plants, and drone border walls.
