UK incited to acknowledge Northern Cyprus


(MENAFN)The Turkish Cypriot leader stated that the UK can aid a "historic opportunity” to stop a decades-long deadlock in Cyprus by recognizing the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Speaking to British tabloid The Sunday Express, Ersin Tatar “urged Boris Johnson’s government to get behind his plan for a two-state solution,” which he will suggest at the discussions that are planned to begin in Geneva on April 27.
Tatar declared that “after Brexit freed Britain from the EU it can now fulfill its role as a neutral guarantor for the eastern Mediterranean island, ensuring that both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots are treated in a balanced way.”
Quoting sources in the British government, the daily stated that UK ministers are thinking about officially identifying the TRNC as an "independent country".
