OZGURGUN: TRNC AUTHORITIES SHOULDN’T BE IGNORED WHILE WORKING ON FEASIBILITY WORK IN YESILRIMAK

Foreign Minister Huseyin Ozgurgun has warned that any regional and international organization which wants to voluntarily contribute to feasibility work for the opening of the Yesilirmak crossing point cannot do so if it ignores relevant authorities of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus while working in the territory of the Republic.

Mr Ozgurgun issued a written statement on the issue after the United Nations Development Programme –UNDP launched a bid for road repair works in the TRNC territory and the buffer zone.

Foreign Minister warned that third parties cannot join the bid on feasibility works unless they cooperate and coordinate with the TRNC authorities while working in areas which are under the TRNC sovereignty.

“They need the approval of our ministries” he said.
