Harmandji Proposal for New Checkpoint and Facilitations at Ledra Palace

The “mayor” of occupied Nicosia, Mehmet Harmandji, proposed the creation of a new checkpoint in the capital and the facilitation of student passage with vehicles from Ledra Palace, arguing that pressure needs to be exerted to solve the traffic problem. He believes that the current works in Agios Dometios are insufficient and even suggests taking a unilateral step to implement the new checkpoint. At the same time, he predicted rapid developments in the occupied territories, with early “elections” within the next few months due to the transfer of financial resources to the pre-election period. Finally, he referred to an improvement in the financial indicators of the “municipality” and investments of 1 billion TL for infrastructure projects in 2026.
