Erhurman Refers Fiber Optic Agreement to 'Supreme' Court

The Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman, has referred the 'law' regarding the 'cooperation protocol' between Turkey and the pseudo-state for the development of fiber optic infrastructure in the occupied territories to the 'supreme constitutional court'. 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 Türk Telecom. Mr. Erhurman cited Article 146 of the 'constitution' and requested a written opinion from the 'Attorney General' before any action is taken.
