MP in Occupied Cyprus Claims Iran Will Bomb Radar in Troodos

The claim by the MP of the KEE, Yasemin Ozturk, that Iran will bomb radar in Troodos has caused reactions in the occupied territories. This claim was deemed irresponsible by many, with Tufan Erhurman suggesting careful consideration before making statements with potential consequences. The union of Turkish Cypriot hoteliers expressed surprise and called for responsibility from the "authorities", emphasizing that any threats will be communicated by Turkey. Hoteliers accused Ozturk of harming the economy and tourism, demanding she reveal the source of her information. Ozturk claims the radar is used by American and British intelligence units as part of the Echelon system and accuses the Republic of Cyprus of being involved in a dangerous situation.
