American Actions from Our 'Friends' the Americans

The United States conducted an inspection of the illegal airport in Tymbou (Ercan) in the occupied territories, citing safety concerns for American citizens who may use it, despite the State Department's travel advisory to use the airports of Larnaca and Paphos. This action has provoked reactions, as it indirectly recognizes the occupation administration as legitimate. The US Embassy in Nicosia attempted to justify the inspection, stating that it was done to ensure the safety of American citizens who insist on using the illegal airport. This move is considered controversial, as it de facto recognizes the illegal situation in the occupied territories.
