Turkey seeks handover of wanted fugitive held in Cyprus

"Turkey seeks handover of wanted fugitive held in Cyprus
By Jean Christou

TURKEY is asking indirectly for Cyprus to hand over a wanted senior member of the far-left Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP/C), who was arrested on the island earlier in the week.

Police said yesterday the issue was with the Attorney-general. Cyprus and Turkey do not have relations, as Ankara does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus, so it is believed the request for extradition has been channelled through Interpol."
