So you don't think paying 50-50 for Cyprus unification is very funny, huh?
Really? What couldn't the TCs do in the north for all these years because of the GCs?
Fly direct in and out of Ercan airport.
Is that all.
So, you think if you had few non-stop flights to the north the place would become an Oasis, do you?
You get all the direct flights from Turkey all the time, so where is the Oasis?
The TCs can still fly from Cyprus non-stop, and many do, so where is the problem?
The illegal occupation of Cyprus by Turkey needs to have some repercussions, don't you think?
Complain to Turkey about that one.
Because the "trnc" is an illegal entity created by the occupying force of Turkey in Cyprus and the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation does not recognise the north. You went to court over it and the "trnc" lost, remember!
