The Turkish President arrived in the occupied territories around 1:45 PM. He was scheduled to inaugurate the new ‘presidential’ and ‘parliamentary’ complex in occupied Nicosia and attend an award ceremony at TEKNOFEST, held for its third day.
Accompanying Erdoğan to the occupied territories is foreign minister Hakan Fidan, health minister Kemal Memişoğlu and other, lower ranked officials.
Following the inauguration, he was scheduled to meet Ersin Tatar.
A group of Turkish Cypriots organized a protest against Erdoğan’s visit and the inauguration ‘show’, as they said, at a roundabout near the new ‘presidential’ complex. They held banners that read, ‘The decision is ours.’
According to the Yeni Düzen website, ‘police’ intervened and arrests were made to disperse the demonstration.
