President Tatar receives British High Commissioner Lillie

President Tatar explained his vision based on sovereign equality and brought the issue of direct flights to the agenda.

President Ersin Tatar received British High Commissioner Stephen Lillie. During the meeting, Lillie congratulated Tatar on his election as the President.

President Ersin Tatar explained his vision based on sovereign equality and the reasons for sustainable stability and cooperation. At the meeting, he emphasised how important it is to remove the isolations and restrictions imposed on the Turkish Cypriot people, particularly on direct flights.

Expressing that Britain can help the Turkish Cypriot side to receive a fairer treatment in the international arena due to its historical, political and economic ties with Cyprus, President Tatar said they expect Britain to contribute in eliminating the discrimination imposed against the Turkish Cypriots by the international community until today.

As well as his meeting with the Greek Cypriot leader Anastasiades, the issues of Varosha, hydrocarbons and other matters were also discussed at the meeting.
