Occupied Territories: Erhurman Refers Fiber Optic Agreement to 'Supreme' Court

The Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman, has referred the 'law' regarding the 'protocol of cooperation' between Turkey and the occupied territories for the development of fiber optic infrastructure to the 'supreme constitutional court' in the occupied territories. This decision comes after strong reactions from the Turkish Cypriot community, from the 'telecommunications department' and trade unions, regarding the awarding of the project to the Turkish company Türk Telecom. Mr. Erhurman stated that the 'presidency' expects a written opinion from the 'Attorney General' before any action or decision is taken.
