Senior Turkish officials, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, repeatedly have made clear that the country's ports and airports will remain closed to Greek Cypriot vessels and aircraft as long as the Turkish Cypriot community continues to live in isolation.
Visoki turski dužnosnici, uključujući premijera Recepa Tayyipa Erdogana, u više navrata jasno su ukazali kako će pomorske luke i zračne luke u zemlji ostati zatvorene za brodove i zrakoplove ciparskih Grka sve dok zajednica ciparskih Turaka bude živjela u izolaciji.
