According to a statement from the TRNC Presidency, the discussions focused on the consequences of the large-scale strikes against Iran and evaluated potential impacts on the TRNC under different scenarios. The meeting included senior officials such as the parliament speaker, premier, foreign and interior ministers, the commander of security forces, the opposition leader, and the head of the civil defense organization.
