The occupation army withdraws from Tymbou and the obstacle for a “new airport” is lifted
Under the title “The obstacle for ‘New Tymbou Airport’ is lifted, the projects are being examined”, Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (26.06.15) reports that no obstacle is left for the construction of the new building of the illegal airport in Tymbou. While the preparation of projects for the construction of the “airport” is continuing, a part of the Turkish occupation army’s regiment which was in Tymbou has been relocated to the military area in Beykoy. The regiment of Tymbou is trying to settle in Beykoy in two stages in an area which will encompass the north part of the military zone there.
The “undersecretary” of the self-styled ministry of public works and transport, Suat Yeldener told Yeni Duzen that the projects for the construction of the new building of the “airport” had been submitted and are being examined at the moment. He said that after seeing whether they are in harmony with the contract, the construction will begin, adding that no obstacle was left.
Yeldener noted that together with the terminal building, other projects were examined including a landing field, an apron, a pick up spot for taxis, a tunnel and the stream bed.
