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

The Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman, stated he is ready for a meeting with the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, at the end of the month. The aim of the meeting is to accelerate work at the technical level and achieve concrete results that will create a climate for a solution. Erhurman mentioned that discussions at the technical level and diplomatic contacts are ongoing, while he expressed his view on the “ritual” of visits to the Green Line, describing it as less important compared to reaching a solution. He also emphasized the importance of direct flights to the occupied territories, but rejected the idea that they are a cure-all for tourism problems.
