E) CONCERNING THE NOTAM NUMBER A0070/02 DATED 7 FEBRUARY 2002
ISSUED BY THE GREEK CYPRIOT ADMINISTRATION OF SOUTHERN CYPRUS
(GCASC) REGARDING THE PROVISION FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE (SAR)
SERVICES WE WOULD LIKE TO STATE THE FOLLOWING:
1) IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROVISION OF SAR SERVICES
  (WITHIN CONTEXT OF ARTICLE-25 OF CHICAGO CONVENTION AND 
  ANNEX-12 TO THE SAME CONVENTION) WERE TAKEN OVER BY THE 
  UNITED KINGDOM (UK) IN THE EARLY 1950S DURING THE ESTABLISHMENT 
  OF NICOSIA FIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH ICAO RULES AND PROCEDURES, 
  WITH REGIONAL AGREEMENT AND APPROVAL OF THE ICAO COUNCIL. THIS
  HAS BEEN RECORDED IN EUR ANP ACCORDINGLY THE 1960 TREATIES  
  CONCERNING CYPRUS DID NOT CHANGE THIS, EVEN ENHANCED IT WITH AN
  EXPLICIT PROVISION. THEREFORE THE UNILATERAL CHANGE OF AUTHORITY
  ON PROVISION OF SAR REGARDING CYPRUS IS AGAINST THE ICAO RULES,  
  AND PROVISIONS OF 1960 TREATIES.
2)WE WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF THE TURKISH
  REPUBLIC OF NORTHERN CYPRUS (TRNC), BEING THE LEGITIMATE
  AUTHORITY REPRESENTING THE TURKISH CYPRIOT PEOPLE PROVIDES
