The Illegal Airport?

Ercan International Airport in Cyprus is weird because it's caught in a political no man's land. The history of Cyprus is like a lot of other country's histories: ruled by the Greeks, the Romans, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, then left to their own devices. This led to a split between the ethnic Greeks and the ethnic Turks, and the formation of Northern Cyprus, which is not a recognized country. That designation puts the  Ercan International Airport in a weird spot, as Half as Interesting explains. The video is only six minutes; the rest is promotional.
