  1. Why were there different counters for turkish cypriots in the first place? As if they are something different? They are also cypriots like all greek cypriots

    Its a nice move. As both communities are equal citizens of the republic of cyprus, the former treatment was ethnically dividing

    Just as a reminder
    EU’s new [**Entry/Exit System (EES)**](https://www.google.com/search?q=Entry%2FExit+System+%28EES%29&oq=eu+vide+border+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORifBTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIJCAQQIRgKGKABMgcIBRAhGI8CMgcIBhAhGI8C0gEINzA4N2owajmoAgCwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfAQXHgKfHN5PKgyPCCGXWsqRtWWS1j3yC25jYGzubWGRHpRA91-ua586n_MfSIEtAo5MiUvnd2bYwVK1bcuXXzN8XOpgjTjgW8ocNWklG6ItsI4j0bw46lyY00-COLrboqdgM7-2-BKeAr4KJ75LobH5VlXvsZ8WN8AsOuRv8nKoJ645PTw2oBXYtbDj5oBqohm2SAfuEl7N54EEOv7vFBw2yvwzbmCUjeQ1lz-hPSYAPWaYvwlIJf-RpZ0YWhaX4TqbeaeVlw_itSgBUcbMUrouGBb7gydRW2HWGm27j0Bdg&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiJlP3n_ZmRAxXYRfEDHawJIwAQgK4QegQIARAC), a digital border control system that began implementation on October 12, 2025.
    What a convenient coincidence.

    The real question here is “why do we back down from Apartheid every time the EU deems necessary?”

    Seperate counters droped in checkpoints but still a Turkish Cypriot can not renew their ID or Passport in ordinary Citizen Centers. Instead they are forced to go to Larnaca or Nicosia.
