Turkey Invalidates Cyprus NOTAM

Turkey has invalidated a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) issued by the Republic of Cyprus, declaring it invalid and stating that it will not hesitate to exercise its rights as a guarantor power. Ankara accuses Cyprus of instability in the Eastern Mediterranean due to its cooperation with Greece and Israel. Turkey argues that Cyprus is being used as a base by other countries and that the security of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a priority. This move comes at a time of heightened tensions between Greece, Cyprus and Turkey, and highlights the disagreements over rights and sovereignties in the Eastern Mediterranean.
