TCCC: “An emergency action plan is needed to counter the attacks and hate speeches which are damaging the trust between the communities”

Regarding the attacks towards Turkish Cypriots and their vehicles, the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce (TCCC) called for an emergency action plan to prevent incidents which are causing tension between the two communities on the island.

According to the written statement by the TCCC, there are two important aspects to creating a consensus on the island: as well as mutual understanding, it is important that both communities come together to make a deal.

The statement stressed that as well as the “continual attacks on Turkish Cypriots and their vehicles, ELAM have successfully entered the Greek Cypriot parliament and some educational institutions based on a hostile agenda which damages the trust between the two communities. To counter this, the authorities must take comprehensive and radical measures without delay”.
