Gasman probably doesn't know what sarcasm is
Of course he knew what happened to Cyprus. He is just after votes from the Turkish minority in Germany and he was telling to the Turks what they wanted to hear (and probably Bayrak exaggerated his position even more)
The fact remains that RoC is the only state in Cyprus and as such it can determine which are the legal ports and airports on the island.
Do you think that every small community has the right to build and use ports and airports without the approval of the state? Of course not. Only the state has such right. Or maybe the Turkish minority in Germany can build and use ports and airports wherever they feel like without the approval of the German state?
