Ergürhan: 'We Exaggerate the Issue of Lack of Direct Flights'

Tufan Ergürhan, a politician in the occupied territories, argued that there is exaggeration in the discussion about the lack of direct flights to the region. He stated that many island countries do not have direct flights, but remain popular tourist destinations due to their 'charm'. Ergürhan emphasized the need for better promotion of the cultural and natural values of the occupied territories, such as the Othello Tower and Kyrenia Castle. He also proposed organizing events in cities in Turkey, Brussels, and Britain to promote the region, as well as creating a television series set in Cyprus.
