Overview of the international sanctions imposed against Northern Cyprus
The Ercan International Airport, where international flights can take place only through Turkey due to the embargo.
An international embargo against Northern Cyprus[1] is currently in place in several areas. The embargo is supported by the policy of the United Nations[2] and its application by the European Union is in line with a European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision taken in 1994.[3]
Northern Cyprus, a state solely recognised by Turkey has been under severe embargoes since its unilateral declaration of independence in 1983,[4] and the embargoes are actively promoted by a Greek Cypriot campaign. Among the institutions that refuse to deal with the Turkish Cypriot community are the Universal Postal Union, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association. The economic embargo was greatly exacerbated upon the ruling of the ECJ in 1994, when the food certificates issued by Northern Cyprus were deemed unacceptable for the European Union.[5] Exports and flights from Northern Cyprus take place through Turkey, with direct flights being banned internationally. Turkish Cypriots face embargoes in the areas of sports and culture as well; Turkish Cypriot teams cannot play international matches, Turkish Cypriot athletes may not compete internationally unless they represent another country and some concerts by international musicians or bands in Northern Cyprus have been blocked.
