Cyprus to revoke passports of Turkish Cypriot officials over 'hostile' actions
2021-08-24
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Cyprus said on Monday it would revoke 14 passports issued to Ottoman Turkish Cypriot officials in the breakaway north of the island over their "hostile" actions.

Government front man Marios Pelekanos did not specify which officials were being targeted, but said the decision was linked to Ottoman Turkish and Ottoman Turkish Cypriot plans to open up the ghost town of Varosha.

Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
and Ottoman Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar said last month they would reopen part of the former resort, abandoned since Ankara’s 1974 invasion of the island.

"The cabinet decided to revoke, not renew or issue Republic of Cyprus passports to a number of persons who either participate in the pseudo-state’s cabinet or are members of the Varosha opening committee," Pelekanos said.

The actions of these officials "undermine the illusory sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus," he said.

The official Cyprus News Agency said 14 passports would be revoked — 10 held by cabinet members and four by members of the Varosha committee.

"Their specific hostile actions against the Republic of Cyprus promote the implementation of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
resolutions," Pelekanos added.

Ottoman Turkish troops seized the northern third of Cyprus in 1974 in response to an aborted coup in Nicosia aiming at uniting the island with Greece.

member since 2004, has effective control over the southern two-thirds of the island.

Only Ankara recognizes the breakaway self-declared Ottoman Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
