Nicosia's mobilization to convince both the Turkish side and the international community of confidence-building measures has found another hurdle. The second negative message (after the complete rejection by the Tatars of the MOE package) came through the publication of the decision of the Turkish government to change the status of an illegal airport in the occupied Tympos. & Nbsp;
The time when the decision to change the status of the illegal airport was announced is not considered accidental and comes two days after the announcement of Ersin Tatar with which he completely rejected the Anastasiadis MOE. One of the CMOs proposed by the Greek Cypriot side predicts that Tympos airport will come under the jurisdiction of the United Nations. & Nbsp;
The decision to change the status of the illegal Tympos airport, which is another move by Turkey to annex the occupied territories, came directly from Ankara and Vice President Fuat Oktay. The news was made public by the “vice-president” of the three-party “government”. & Nbsp;
