Erhurman Ready for Meeting with UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy

The Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman, has stated his readiness for the meeting with the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, scheduled for the end of the month. The aim of the meeting is to accelerate technical-level talks and create a positive atmosphere for resolving the Cyprus issue. Erhurman addressed three issues of public concern, assuring that technical discussions and diplomatic contacts continue despite the challenges. He also expressed his view on visits by officials to the Green Line, describing them as not particularly substantial under current circumstances. Finally, he emphasized the importance of direct flights to the Turkish Cypriot side, but disagreed with the notion that they are a cure-all for tourism problems.
