TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTRY ISSUES WARNING .............
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has issued a security warning for Turkish citizens willing to travell to South Cyprus. Pointing to the rise in racist attacks in South Cyprus that targeted Turkish nationals, the statement called on Turkish citizens to avoid traveling there when not necessary.
Drawing attention to the fact that Turkish currency and flag are receiving negative reaction in South Cyprus, it also noted that Turkey-based GSM sim cards do not work there as there has been no roaming agreement between Turkish and Greek Cypriot operators.
The Foreign Ministry noted that Turkish citizens will not be able to benefit from any consulate services of Turkey in South Cyprus as Turkey does not recognize the entity and abstains from any diplomatic relations with it.
It urged its citizens traveling to South Cyprus to register at the Ministry’s e-consulate services which will aid their safe return to Turkey in case of any danger that may arise.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry reminded its citizens that they would need to obtain visas in order to travel to the South from Greek Cypriot representation offices as the Greek Cypriot Side does not allow them to cross to South Cyprus from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and they will have to fly to South Cyprus via another country.
