NICOSIA (Reuters) - The coalition government in the breakaway state of northern Cyprus has offered its resignation to the enclave's leader after it lost its majority in parliament, its prime minister said on Wednesday as he called for an early election.

Cyprus's internationally recognised government is run by Greek Cypriots, while the breakaway administration in the north of the Mediterranean island is only recognised by Turkey.
