Because the Republic of Cyprus has never authorized direct flights into the airports in the occupied area. and because it has not designated these airports as official ports of entry. entering the country through these airports is a direct violation of the Chicago Convention. Simply put. our State Department should not be authorizing. encouraging. or even condoning such a blatant violation of international law. Moreover. flights into an occupied airport violate local Cypriot law. If Cypriots visit the United States. they cannot just land a plane in the middle of the countrythey must land at an airport that is an immigration and customs point of entry. We would rightly object if a Cypriot landed at an unauthorized airport in our country. and we should not be encouraging Americans to do so in Cyprus. Over the past year.
