Turkish Cypriot authorities have \u201crequested information\u201d from Turkey<\/strong> on the matter of Cypriots being refused entry to Turkey, \u2018interior minister\u2019 Dursun Oguz said on Monday.<\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking in \u2018parliament\u2019, Oguz said, \u201cwe have asked if, as has been stated, there is a list, and what are the reasons for people finding themselves on such a list.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is not right for people to not know whether they will be allowed in when they arrive at the gate. The necessary explanation will be made,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cjustifications\u201d have been requested from Turkey.
\nHe said, \u201cwithin the scope of international law, every country has the authority to decide who can enter the country, but the relationship between the Republic of Turkey and the TRNC is different. In this context, the issue was brought up at the highest level and information was requested<\/strong>.\u201d
\nIn this regard, he said he had reached out to Turkey\u2019s foreign ministry and its Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz.
\nThe issue was brought up in \u2018parliament\u2019 by opposition party CTP leader Tufan Erhurman, who asked, \u201cwho in this country can enter Turkey and who cannot? Why were some people not allowed? No one in the country knows the answers to these questions.\u201d
\nHe added that \u201ca significant proportion of people in this country who feel like they are \u2018dissidents\u2019 wonder if they can enter Turkey<\/strong>. They are forced to have second thoughts. There are also people who have not actually been able to enter the country, and who will not be able to.
\n\u201cI am just asking this; do relations with Turkey match your \u2018good relations\u2019 approach, as you call it? I really hope that not even one person in this chamber will label this state of affairs as \u2018appropriate.\u201d
\nSpeaking about the Turkish Cypriots who had been put together, he said, \u201cyou could allow them to team up all together and we all know that they would not pose a security threat to Turkey on this tiny island. The Turkish authorities may not know this, but we do.\u201d
\nHe also criticised statements from \u2018prime minister Unal Ustel from December last year. Ustel had said he would \u201cdiscuss the issue with Turkey\u201d, and Erhurman replied; \u201cyou said you would ask, but no information came. So, what will happen? Will it continue like this? Is this a normal situation in terms of our relationship with Turkey?<\/strong>\u201d
\nThe matter of Cypriots being refused entry to Turkey reached the top of the north\u2019s political agenda last week when Evrim Hincal, the financial secretary of opposition party the TDP, was refused entry to the country.
\nHincal had travelled to the country alongside Turkish Cypriot Nicosia Mayor Mehmet Harmanci for a joint family holiday, but upon arrival at Istanbul\u2019s Sabiha Gokcen airport, he was told he would not be able to enter the country as his name is on Turkey\u2019s N-82 list.
\nWhile being named on the N-82 list does not mean a person is outright banned from Turkey, those on the list must apply in advance to the Turkish embassy in their country for pre-clearance<\/strong> to enter the country, and the list is not publicly available, so those on it generally do not find out until they arrive in Turkey.
\nFormer Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci made a rare intervention to call for transparency in the matter later last week.
\nMeanwhile, newspaper Yeni Duzen on Monday listed 15 names of Cypriots who have said they had been informed<\/strong> on previous attempts to visit Turkey that they were either on the N-82 list or on the G-82 list. Being on the G-82 list entails an outright ban from entering Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
