There are no sanctions on the TC community as such,
Off course not, everything is fine, TC can compete in international sporting events
TCs can perfectly compete in international sporting events, as long as they
register themselves under the corresponding RoC sports federations, and they compete under the flag of the RoC, the only legitimate and internationally recognised state entity in Cyprus. Already a year ago, one TC athlete that has chosen to register himself under the Cyprus Athletics federation, participated in the Mediterranean Athletics games and the European small states Olympiad, under the RoC flag and as a member of the Cypriot delegation, and has won himself and his country a bronze medal.
I can fly direct to Ercan if I want too
No you cannot fly direct to "Ercan" (Tymbou airport is the proper name) because "Ercan" is an airport of the RoC that is under illegal occupation, and the RoC which is the owner of the airport has declared it closed as a port of entry inside the RoC. You can always fly directly to Larnaka International airport and Pafos International airport any time you wish, like so many law abiding Turkish Cypriot citizens of the RoC do every day.
I can post a letter direct to the TRNC
No you cannot post a letter directly to the "TRNC" because such entity as a subject of international law and thus also member of the international federation of postal services doesn't exist! You can post a letter directly to the RoC, with the proper address in the north (using the proper and internationally registered name places in the occupied areas of the RoC, as they are registered in the UN,) and it will be delivered by the UN mission in Cyprus to its recipient in the occupied north, like the GC enclaves in Karpaz and the Maronites are doing all these years.
TC can sell their products to whoever they choose
Yes, the TCs can sell their products to whoever they want, provided they do so through the legally operating RoC ports of entry /exit (Limassol and Larnaka harbours and Pafos and Larnaka airports,) and provided the raw materials for the production of these goods were imported through the legally operating ports of the RoC.
The list goes on and on, but hey you keep believing that there are no sanctions on the TC if helps you sleep at night!
No there are no sanctions on the TCs as people (as individuals,) just because they are TCs! There are sanctions against the illegal regime in the occupied north, simply because it is an illegal one. If the TCs choose to want to do their businesses through an illegal regime, then consequently they will suffer the same sanctions like the illegal regime. If however they choose to work with the legal entity of Cyprus, which is the RoC, then they have no problem or restriction, other than the ones the illegal Turkish occupying troops are /will impose on them.
