The British High Commissioner to Cyprus Stephen Lillie who completed his term in office has paid a farewell visit to President Ersin Tatar.

Speaking during the visit, President Tatar conveyed Lillie the Turkish Cypriot side’s opinion that the United Kingdom can treat the Turkish Cypriot people more fairly on the issue of isolations following their exit from the European Union.

President Ersin Tatar who shared the Turkish Cypriot side’s views on the Cyprus issue noted that as a result of the Greek Cypriot side’s unwillingness to share authority and wealth with the Turkish Cypriots, only an agreement on the basis of two states and sovereign equality will be realistic and practical.

Tatar also thanked British High Commissioner Lillie for his efforts during his term in office.

Tatar said that the way to sustainable peace and stability in Cyprus is through official negotiations based on sovereign equality and equal international status, which is the vested right of Turkish Cypriots, one of the co-owners of the island, and that an agreement based on the cooperation of the two states can be fair and realistic.

President Tatar also stated that there could be formulas for the Turkish Cypriot people to sell their products directly on the island.

The President wished Lillie success in his future career.
