The program, which aired on the Germany-based ARD1 channel, included a map of the TRNC while discussing the 50th anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation. The broadcast also mentioned Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu.

The Greek media outlet Alpha News sharply criticized ARD's broadcast. Alpha News accused ARD of recognizing the TRNC and referred to Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu as the TRNC's Foreign Minister, interpreting this as an official recognition by Germany. The news outlet expressed its dismay with the words, "We are very sorry."

This incident has sparked controversy and criticism, highlighting the sensitivity surrounding the recognition of the TRNC in international contexts. The situation emphasizes the ongoing diplomatic tensions between different stakeholders over the Cyprus issue.
