Pseudo-State Issues NOTAM in Response to Republic of Cyprus NOTAM

The pseudo-state issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) in response to NOTAM A0345/26 issued by the Republic of Cyprus. The pseudo-state's NOTAM claims that the Cypriot notice concerns an area falling within its airspace and deems it “invalid and void.” The “ministry of transport” of the pseudo-state asserts that the TRNC is the sole authorized authority for providing air traffic services in the area. This move represents an escalation of tensions in the region and a challenge to the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over its airspace.
