According to illegal Bayrak television (15.06.15) the “presidential spokesman” Barύs Burcu answering to BRT’s questions regarding the forthcoming visit to Cyprus of the British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond, said that there are great benefits for diplomats and foreign country representatives who visit Cyprus to cross over to the “north” of the island and gain firsthand information regarding the Cyprus problem.
Hammond will be visiting the island next month. He is expected to meet with the “leader” of the “Greek Cypriot administration”, Nikos Anastasiades, as the President of the Republic of Cyprus is called and the Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akύncύ separately.
“In the past much importance was not given to such visits and we have seen much harm. During the sensitive process ahead we hope that more care will be given to such visits”, said Burcu.
Pointing to the importance of carrying out top high level and equalitarian visits on the Cyprus problem, Burcu said that when such meeting requests come from the international community, they would be sharing this with the public.
