A diplomatic controversy over Cyprus has reignited attention on one of Europe’s longest-running disputes. Aircraft carrying the defence ministers of Greece, France and the Netherlands to an EU defence meeting reportedly faced interference linked to Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus, with claims that Turkish F-16s were observed near the aircraft of Greece’s defence minister, Nikos Dendias. Türkiye denies any wrongdoing, calling the flights routine operations. The incident highlights unresolved tensions over Cyprus, divided since 1974 between the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish-backed north. Hem Saroya reveals more.
