I do not see it that way. If he is a true Kibrisli ( and not a settler) who is entitled to be a citizen of the Republic why should he not play for any Club within the Republic? IMHO to object on the basis he is a Kibrisli is racist. If he is an illegal immigrant aka settler aka "new T/C" he should not be permitted to play.
By offering him a position the Club have shown a commitment to re-unification while by banning him from travel the TC puppet state and its masters are showing a commitment to partition.
He should of course pay ROC taxes, which would repesent a personal recognition of the ROC and that is possibly what the the psuedo-state and its masters are frightened of.
