Erhurman Wants Bi-communal Technical Committee for Halloumi

Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman proposes the establishment of a bi-communal technical committee on the issue of halloumi, expressing the readiness of the Turkish Cypriot side for cooperation in the fields of agriculture and livestock. He also calls for the immediate signing to begin checks in the occupied territories as part of the protection of Cypriot cheese. Mr. Erhurman states that the Turkish Cypriot side has carried out timely vaccinations and offers cooperation to address common risks in the agricultural sector, accusing the Greek Cypriot side of using the Turkish Cypriot side as an excuse to address criticism.
