A nationwide strike continues in Northern Cyprus, initiated by trade unions to protest the government decree on cost-of-living compensation.

Union representatives reported that protesters will take to the streets again this morning. The main gathering is scheduled for 10:00 at the parliament building.

Unions emphasize that the strike will continue until the decree is revoked. Protests are expected to affect many institutions again, including schools and government organizations.

Unions also warned that if the authorities do not make concessions, the actions could expand and intensify. Today's meeting at the parliament could be a significant milestone in the development of the situation.
