TRABZON
Turkish Cypriot President Dervis Eroglu said they received information on Israel's demand from the Greek Cypriot administration for an air base in the island.
Speaking to reporters while visiting the Governor of the north-eastern province of Trabzon, Recep Kizilcik, President Eroglu said that the Greek Cypriots in the past provided a naval base to the French.
It is EU countries who have to decide whether or not Greek Cyprus' plans to provide an air base to Israel are appropriate, President Eroglu stressed.
In response to a question on the violation of Turkish Cypriot air space by an Israeli aircraft and that this violation had to do with exploration for oil, President Eroglu underlined that both Turkey and they protested the violation of the Turkish Cypriot air space by Israel.
