Akıncı to receive leaders and representatives of the Turkish Cypriot political parties
4 November, 2016Akıncı: “A formula for a solution can be found which will benefit all parties”
7 November, 2016The Greek Cypriot Football Federation (KOP) has threatened to severely punish those travelling from Ercan Airport.
According to the Greek Cypriot Alithia newspaper, the KOP Executive Board announced that members of the federation who travel from Ercan Airport, either in groups or individually, will be fined ten thousand Euros for the first time, and that in the event of recurrence, their membership will be terminated.
According to the report, the decision was taken after the memorandum dated July 31, 2014 was sent to all federations and the Greek Cypriot Olympic Committee (KOE) by the Greek Cypriot Sports Federation (KOA). In addition, the memorandum warned all travellers to avoid transit through Ercan Airport to participate in sports competitions in Turkey, and called for punishment for anyone caught taking electronic visas instead of the airports in Greece.
Alithia noted that despite the fact that it has been two years since the memorandum was published, it has not been adopted by all the federations.
