After the order of the Turkish President to complete and inaugurate the new runway and terminal of the illegal airport in Tymbou on July 20, action has been taken by the "government," writes Geni Duzen, noting that the "regulation" for the "certification of construction, development, licensing, and operation of airports (amendment)" and the "regulation" for the "principles and procedures to be applied in construction tenders (Amendment)" has been published in the "official gazette."

According to GTP, the publication states that the "regulation" concerns the principles and procedures to be applied in construction competitions (amendment), an "interim acceptance committee" and a "final acceptance committee" will be established "in case of necessity," consisting of "public officials" appointed by Turkey.

The committee will include engineers, architects, interior architects, technicians, and the necessary personnel from professional groups representing other relevant matters.

Another notable point in the "regulation," according to Geni Duzen, is granting "full authorization" to these individuals. Therefore, the technical staff appointed to the interim acceptance committee will be considered "fully authorized" to conduct the process of temporary acceptance and carry out the necessary inspections.
