Now there's a surprise: the new ‘operator’ of the illegal airport at Tymvou (Ercan) in the occupied areas has been arrested as part of the corruption scandal breaking in Turkey.

Ercan airport’s new boss is detained

ISTANBUL – Turkish businessman Emrullah Turanlı, who is the operator of the Ercan Airport in the northern part of Cyprus, has been detained in Turkey yesterday as part of a corruption and bribery investigation. The Ercan Airport had been privatised during the National Unity Party (UBP) “government.”

Among those detained along with Turanlı, are the sons of Turkey’s Interior Minister, Environment and City Planning Minister, and Economy Minister; businessman Ali Agaoglu, Fatih Mayor Mustafa Demir and other senior officials and famous businessmen. The operation is being led by the Istanbul Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor.

In a move seen by many as the Turkish government’s response to the detentions, five police chiefs at the Istanbul Police Headquarters were removed from duty today.

More details on the crook Emrullah Turanli who operates the illegal airport in the north. His arrest in Turkey is linked to the investigation around PM Erdogan’s close associate Erdogan Bayraktar, minister of environment and urbanization:

At the center of the second operation is Bayraktar, who is responsible for the prime ministry's Social Housing Administration (TOKI). Before becoming a minister, Bayraktar was the chairman of the powerful TOKI, which coordinates the state's mass housing investments. Among the 22 people detained in connection with this case are owners of three major construction firms: Ali Agaoglu, Emrullah Turanli and Osman Agca. They are known to be close to the government and have received big shares of TOKI contracts. Abdullah Oguz Bayraktar, son of Minister Bayraktar, is also among the detainees. They are accused of illegal and irregular construction activities, and taking and giving bribes.

Do you have a new airport called Tymvou?

No, but you have an illegal one called Tymvou, guarded by the Turkish militarty and run by criminals.

It's amazing how all this news, from Turkey, about mass corruption at the very top of government, and not a single denouncement by the turks/tcs in the occupied areas. Says it all really.

Corruption file... corruption and thefts of the highest order have been behind "trnc" and its predecessor bodies since the 50's.

So not many on the other side of the cease-fire line will condemn something that is at the very heart of the Illegal Regime.

Exactly. It's not a coincidence that the man who is ‘operating' the illegal airport at Tymvou is a close associate of Erdogan’s and one of the first to be detained in the corruption scandal breaking in Turkey. It's just a matter of time before we find out what other ‘businesses' in the occupied areas are the result of kickbacks and corruption which can be traced back to favours dished out to Erdogan associates.
