TRNC Assembly Delegation held official contacts in Brussels

A delegation from the TRNC Assembly held official contacts in Brussels. The delegation had contacts with many parliamentarians, party leaders, deputies and working group members responsible for enlargement and neighbouring policies of many EU member countries. The delegation also held various contacts and round table meetings in the presence of the Federal Government of Belgium.

During the meetings, current developments in Cyprus, negotiation processes from past to present and the Turkish Cypriot side’s views regarding the method and methodology to be followed in the further process were conveyed. It was also stressed that the process should be planned as result oriented and within the framework of a calendar.

The deputies reminded that two of the six seats allocated for Cyprus in the European Parliament belong to the Turkish Cypriot side and made attempts to force the preparation of the necessary legal and political procedures for election of the Turkish Cypriot representatives at the EP Parliamentary Election to be held in May 2019.

The delegation also conveyed once more to the authorities the unfair isolation imposed on the Turkish Cypriot side which is one of the two equal sides on the island.
