CITIZENS ARE WAITING FOR A SOLUTION

FROM THE TRNC AUTHORITIES

TURKISH Cypriots living in the UK have com-
EXCULISIVE plained about being unable to reach the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus’s (TRNC) London Rep-
resentative Office, while officials express they are
struggling to meet the intense demand of the citi-
zens.
Citizens who have been trying to make an appoint-

able to do as their phone calls have been unanswered.

called the representative office "hundreds of times"
to get an appointment, but could not reach them.

no one answers. It is not easy for me to go out and go
there, I thought of taking this risk and going to the
representative office...”
While Ali Hasan said to as he was unable to book
an appointment: “I couldn't complete... Page 2m
