The list of Turkish Cypriots banned from entering Turkey is getting biggere and bigger.
This is not the first time a Turkish Cypriot is labeled as a ‘threat to the national security’ of Turkey and is sent back to Cyprus.
Ali Bizden(Press coordinator of the former TC leader Mustafa Akinci), Ali Kizmir(head of the TC journalist Union that also faces 10 years in jail over article criticizing Ankara). A ‘black list of people’ was published in TC media according to it many journalists, art people, politicians are banned from entring Turkey). On the top of my heas:
* Journalists Sener Levent, Mehmet Levent, Sener Incirli, Sami Ozuslu, Aziz Sah
* Sener Elcil, head of the TC Teacher’s Union,
* Baris Burcu, the negotiator of the Former TC leader(Akinci)
* Mine Atli, haid of the Communal Democracy Party (TDP)
* Oz Karahhan, head of the Union of Cypriots organisation
* Tacan Raynar, Former Senior Judge
