Turkey is responsible for the internal and external security of the pseudo-state and it is their issue, said "transport minister" Erhan Arikli, saying he had no information on the news that circulated yesterday that a 200-strong rapid action police team would be sent from Turkey to the occupied territories.
As reported by the GMP, TC media reported that Arikli said that the "cabinet" has not been informed about such a matter. "I don't know where they got this information from. I asked some ministerial friends and they don't know either. As you know, the internal and external security of the TRNC is under the responsibility of the Turkish Republic, so the fact that the Turkish Republic will bring soldiers or personnel to any part of the security forces is entirely its own affair."
"Bilateral agreements allow it. If they come, it won't be a problem for me, but I really don't know anything about this issue," he added."
Recall that the "General Directorate of Police" denied the news regarding the transfer of 200 police officers of the Turkish special forces to the occupied territories. According to a statement, the claims are "completely unfounded."
The Bugjun Kipris today published a question from PKK "MP" Ongun Talat to "Prime Minister" Unal Ustel whether the 200 special "police officers" have come to the occupied territories.
In his letter, Mr. Talat listed a number of questions related to the content of the news and concerning where this unit will be stationed and whether they will wear the uniforms of the "general police directorate."
Speaking to the Bugun Kipris website, Ongun Talat said the news caused concern in society, noting that it is illegal to bring police officers from other countries for duties here.
