Bilateral relations took a back seat.
Greek citizen Evgeni Kanellaki crossed over from the Greek
part of Cyprus to the Turkish side on 11 January to pick up
her Turkish boyfriend Taylan Özgür Özer from Ercan Airport,
after his arrival from Istanbul. The couple then spent 6 days
in the KKTC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), after
which Evgeni hanım wanted to take Taylan bey to the Greek
side of the island last Friday.
However (!), since the Cyrpiot Greek government does not
recognize the KKTC, Taylan bey, as a Turkish citizen, could
not enter legally. This being the case, Evgeni hanım put
Taylan bey in the trunk of her car and successfully crossed
through both the KKTC and Greek Cypriot checkpoints to
the south.
"Lemme outta here!"
The couple spent the weekend at Evgeni hanım's home and
then tried to use the same boyfriend-in-the-trunk method to
return to KKTC on Sunday. At the Metehan border crossing
the car sailed through the Greek Cypriot checkpoint but
Turkish police, suspicious of Evgeni hanım's demeanor,
opened the trunk and "voila!" Taylan bey appeared (!).
The day before yesterday, the couple was charged with
"entering a forbidden military zone" and jailed for a period
not to exceed one month.
