Azerbaijan issued a declaration stating that they regard direct air links between Baku and Ercan as legal, despite opposition from the internationally recognized Cypriot government, thus making - in Azerbaijan's eyes - Ercan Airport as a ligitimate port of entry. - - Expatkiwi 23:29 26 September 2005 (UTC)

• I'm removing the part about Azerbaijan's recognition, since Azerbaijan has backtracked and flights from Baku have not materialized. Travelbird 00:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Could some one provide a source for the claim that AzA is continuting charter flights into Ercan (beyond that first flight in 2005 ? Travelbird 01:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I checked the sites of Azal and Imair again and have come to the conslusion that Azal is not flying to ECN (at the moment at least). Imair doesn't list Cyprus as one of their destinations either, and ECN is not included in their summer timetable at http://www.imair.com. We'll have to see if they take up flights in the winter.

I have removed the following from the entry: "Greek and Cypriot authorities may deny anyone entry into either country if he/she has entered Northern Cyprus by a non-recognized airport." There was no cited source for this claim. I have been to the TRNC and then subsequently to the Republic of Cyprus and Greece, and have never had problems entering those countries. The worst that can happen is the Cypriot/Greek border official asks to cancel the TRNC passport stamp before letting the traveller on their way. I have a British passport, which is by definition an EU passport, so Greece and Cyprus (as EU members) would need a better reason than that to stop me entering those countries. daskind 18.43, 12 August 2007 (GMT)
