Greek Cyprus boycotted international fair in Israel over Turkish Cyprus attendence, Turkish state media reported.
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has attended to the International Mediterranean Tourism Fair at Tel Aviv for the first time despite efforts of Cypriot Greeks to disturb.
Cypriot Greek officials, up to the last minute, tried hard to prevent TRNC to attend the fair. When they could not succeed to prevent, they boycotted the fair which they attended for 15 years.
The officials of the fair reminded to the Greeks that both sides had had their places at the fairs in Berlin and London, but they could not convince them. However, tourism firms from Cypriot Greeks attended the fair despite their state did not.
