Unfortunately Lordo the situation is not like you describe. The occupied has turned out to be an endless sucker of money from Turkey hence their austerity measures on you that you didn't like and the uprising of the leftist unions. The solution is to decrease the public servants. Starting from the 3 year package from 2006-2008 of 400m per year you now reached 1 billion. What is this, where will it end?
Your leaders visit Turkey every now and then asking for more money.... when was it the last time by the end of 2014 that they asked for another 300m?
Even if the airport gets direct flights (which by what Paphitis said seems rather impossible) you will still depend heavily on Turkey unless you yourselves do something about it.
