A Kurdish citizen from Turkey was arrested in Cyprus and held until the Turkish authorities were informed. However, Turkey did not respond, leading to his release. The Kurdish individual is suspected of supporting the PKK and has requested political asylum. The Cypriot authorities plan to deport him if his asylum request is denied. Meanwhile, another Kurdish detainee is expected to return to Cyprus from Germany to serve his sentence.
