Many Turkish companies have begun registering in the Republic of Cyprus, raising concerns about national security. There is a proposed law concerning the registration process of companies to better scrutinize applicants, especially from third countries. Lawmakers expressed worries that these companies could be used for espionage or to acquire Greek-Cypriot land. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and other officials emphasized the need for stricter controls on property transactions. This issue is serious and requires attention to protect the territorial integrity of Cyprus.
