High Representative/Vice-President of the EU Commission Josep Borrell gave a call to President Ersin Tatar and congratulated him on his election victory.

During the conversation, President Tatar stated that the Turkish Cypriot people empowered him for a reconciliation on the basis of sovereign equality and two states, including cooperation between the two sides and pointed out that the isolation and restrictions imposed on Turkish Cypriot people were unfair, adding the European Union did not do its part.
