Turk Telekom Protocol Sparks Marathon Debate in Parliament
The bill approving the fiber-optic infrastructure protocol signed with Turkey continued to be debated in the General Assembly of the Republic’s Assembly, with discussions stretching through the night and into the early hours of the morning.
The session, which began at 6:15 p.m. under the chairmanship of Speaker Ziya Ozturkler, focused on the draft law entitled “Approval of the Cooperation Protocol between the Government of the Republic of Turkey and the Government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on the Development of the TRNC Fiber Optic Infrastructure and the Delivery of Services via Fiber Optic Cables to Households and Businesses.”
Members of parliament took the floor for extended speeches, examining the protocol in detail. Deliberations on the fiber-optic infrastructure project continued until dawn and were still ongoing at the time of reporting.
Under the Fiber Transformation Protocol signed between Turkey and the TRNC on July 11, 2025, the project aims to provide fiber internet infrastructure to 150,000 households. The initiative, with an estimated cost exceeding $100 million, is planned to be completed within 12 months.
According to the protocol, the system will be operated by the Turkish company Turk Telekom for 25 years before being transferred to the Telecommunications Department.
The evaluation and voting process on the draft law is expected to become clear later today.
