Turkish Cypriot spoof paper criticizes EU

"Turkish Cypriot spoof paper criticizes EU
A group of Turkish Cypriots published a spoof newspaper on Thursday in protest of what they said was foot dragging by the European Union to end a de facto trade embargo on the territory.

The one-off newspaper published in English and Turkish by the 'Thank You Europe Committee' described the north of Cyprus as a forgotten corner of Europe touched by political farce. Spoof articles included a sarcastic piece on officials renaming the North's Ercan airport after EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn and a warning that global warming could further divide the island."
