Very large Palestinian flags have suddenly appeared on Roundabout Street lights in Alsancak. I thought it was illegal to fly flags other than Turkish or TRNC. Times are changing.

Well they appear to have been taken down now, Maybe they are in a less obvious place.

Prominently flown 2 large Ukrainian flags since the start of the conflict with no problems and I am on main road through village, so everyman and his dog, including Belediye officials, drive past them.

Same here, but it blew away after a few months in a gale during the night. My neighbour (Ukrainian) has converted one of the old round Discs on his roof into a Ukrainian flag and no one has said a thing,
