There is a problem with the air above Cyprus. Turkey sent a new message for pilots. It says there might be army games near Ercan airport. This is a problem. Cyprus aviation officials sent a message first. Their message was different. This shows a fight about who is in charge of the sky. It also shows worry about more army things in the sea.

Cyprus sent its message first. It talked about army work. The United States asked for this. But the Turkish Cypriot government did not like it. They said the message should not be sent without them. They think they control their air.

Turkey's army said the first message was not good. It was not real. Turkish Cypriots sent a new message. They cancelled the old one. This air fight is a big problem.

This fight can make travel hard. Flights from Ercan airport may be late. Passengers are asked to wait.

A leader named Mr. Erhruman is worried. He sees more foreign army near Cyprus. He does not want them there. Many countries have ships and planes. France sent a big ship. The United States is talking to Cyprus about a base.

Mr. Erhruman thinks this makes the area look bad. He is also unhappy that Cyprus works with Israel. He thinks this causes more worry. So, it is not just about the air. It is about big worries in the sea area. The new Turkish message is until April 12th. Army games are planned.
