INFORMATION ABOUT TRNC AND HER FLAG ON EU’S INTERNET SITE
It was reported that information about the TRNC and her flag on an EU internet site made the Greek Cypriots feel uncomfortable and this led to comments that in this way, the TRNC was recognized by the EU
Under the headline: ‘Contact Information and The Flag are being seen’ the Greek Cypriot newspaper ‘Fileleftheros’ wrote that the thesis of the EU that repeated over and over again is ‘ The only state recognized by the EU is the Republic of Cyprus’ however, the activities of the services acting under the EU umbrella assert to the contrary.
Publishing that on the internet site (www.sos112.info) all emergency numbers about Europe and related information are mentioned ‘Fileleftheros’ wrote that two flags, one for the ‘Republic of Cyprus’ and the other one for the TRNC also appear. It was also pointed out that TRNC emergency case (ambulance, fire station, and police) contact information and dialing codes appear on the mentioned internet site beside the related information about South Cyprus.
