Turkey has launched a new tourism campaign for the occupied territories of Cyprus named "Island Cyprus", sparking reactions from the Republic of Cyprus. Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar emphasized the growth of the tourism sector during the launch event in Istanbul. The campaign appears to have political implications and is linked to Ankara's efforts to legitimize the occupation.
