Cyprus protests over national airspace violations by Turkish military aircraft
The Republic of Cyprus’ Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Minas Hadjimichael sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General on 18 December 2009 protesting over ongoing violations of the international air traffic regulations and the national airspace of the Republic of Cyprus by military aircraft of the Turkish Air Force, recorded from 1 October to 26 November 2009.

Mr Hadjimichael conveys in the letter the Cyprus Government’s strong protest over the continued violations by Turkey and calls for their immediate cessation.

He further adds the following:

“Turkey’s policy of non-observance of rules and regulations governing international aviation continues to gravely jeopardize flight safety and perpetuate insecurity and apprehension on the island. Furthermore, Turkey’s systematic attempts to undermine the sovereignty and unity of the Republic of Cyprus by promoting an illegal secessionist entity, arrogating to itself, inter alia, the right to control part of the airspace of the Republic of Cyprus, further complicate the efforts to build trust and confidence between the two communities. Such policies and actions provide ample demonstration of the irresponsible behaviour of a country that now serves as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.

It was regrettable that in the recent report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations operation in Cyprus (S/2009/609), there was not a reference to the aforementioned violations by Turkey, since these violations had been mentioned in the previous report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations operation in Cyprus (S/2009/248).

The Government of Turkey should heed the call of the international community, abide by the Charter of the United Nations and respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus, thus contributing to the creation of the required conditions for the achievement of a viable solution to the Cyprus problem, according to the agreed basis endorsed by numerous Security Council resolutions.”

The letter of Ambassador Hadjimichael was circulated yesterday as a document of the UN General Assembly, under agenda item 21, and of the Security Council.

The aviation authority of the TRNC is not going to agree with this complaint, methinks...

Having one of these doesn't qualify you as an aviation authority. You need to be a country first.

As far as I know, the TRNC IS a country.

There is no such thing as TRNC Airspace

I thought a rapier wit like yourself would say something like "the only TRNC airspace is the space between Talat's, Denktas' and Eroglu's ears..."
But seriously, try flying a plane from south Cyprus to TRNC, and you'll soon find out about TRNC airspace when Turkish jets start greeting you with AA missiles...
