30 September, 2017Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün has criticised the Greek Cypriot for not tolerating even the smallest development by the Turkish Cypriot side, adding that the difficulties faced by tourists who come to the TRNC via South Cyprus is the proof of this intolerance.
In one interview, Prime Minister Özgürgün evaluated the obstacles put in place by the Greek Cypriot Administration for tourists who want to come to TRNC via airports in South Cyprus. “The prevention of Israeli tourists and prohibition from 206 hotels cannot be accepted” Özgürgün added.
The Prime Minister said that the rising number of tourists arriving in the TRNC frightens Greek Cypriots, and that their only policy with regards to the TRNC is to prevent its development. He added “We will not yield to the Greek Cypriots. We are taking, and will continue to take the necessary measures in partnership with Turkey. They will not be able to stop Turkish Cypriot people’s development and progress”. (Kıbrıstime)
