                      Canada "wants" him, badly.

At a time when Northern Cyprus is reeling from "fake diploma and 
corruption" scandals that erupted at a university, it turns out that at a 
separate university a professor who runs three departments in the 
engineering faculty has been "wanted" by Canada for 13 years (!). 

Consequently, the Northern Cyprus Council of Ministers has declared
Prof. Dr. Ali Turjman to be an "illegal migrant" who is being sought on
charges of sexual assault and attempted murder.  Turjman, who teaches
at Near East University (YDÜ) in Lefkoşa is being deported.  But since
Northern Cyprus does not have direct ties to Interpol, Turjman is being
deported via Turkey. 

Turjman, who is a native of Kuwait, completed his doctoral degree at
Queens University in Canada in 2011 but was charged with the crimes
of sexual assault, attempted murder and kidnapping. (evidently, he 
successfully fled from Canada). 

In 2019 Turjman was teaching at Antalya Science University and has
published more than 190 scholarly papers.  On YDÜ's website there
is a 37-page (!) biography of Turjman.  Nevertheless, YDÜ has yet
to make a comment on Turjman's deportation.
