After tonnes of oil had already been spilled on the coast fo Karpasia by a Turkish tanker the occupation regime decided to ask for help from the Republic of Cyprus. Turkey shortly intervened and cancelled the request stating that help from Turkey was on its way sooner than expected. Help from Turkey apparently didn't show up and a new request was sent to the government of Cyprus by the occupation regime. By this time the damage was done. The government of course accepted both times the request without second thought and there are now crews from Limassol doing the clean up.
