‘TRNC’ flag mistakenly used to represent the Republic at world media conference

The flag of the Turkish Republic of northern Cyprus (TRNC) was mistakenly used to represent the flag of Cyprus (south) at a world media conference at the Emirates. 

It seems the flag had been mistakenly placed as representing the flag of the Republic of Cyprus.

This happened at the World Media conference organized by Emirates news agency WAM, on Wednesday.

Editors of the Cyprus News Agency (CNA) who spotted the error quickly, intervened for the TRNC flag to be removed from a screen panel.

The error was quickly corrected by the organisers.

As reported the placement of the wrong flag was done by mistake and was due to a technical error.

The TRNC flag initially appeared on an interactive panel introducing the various attending news agencies, beside the CNA logo.
