Turkey call for embargo on Turkish Cypriot athletes to be lifted

Turkey has strongly condemned what it describe as unfair embargoes on Turkish Cypriot athletes.

Turkey’s Youth and Sports Minister, Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu on Wednesday called on international sports communities to lift embargoes on Turkish Cypriot athletes.

Mehmet was visiting the TRNC to attend the 12th meeting of the General Assembly of Sport Council in Lefkoşa.

In his address to the meeting, Kasapoğlu said:

It is extremely unfair to expect the Turkish Cypriots to give up their freedom to become visible in the international sports arena.

The minister also said Turkey strongly condemns the unfair embargoes on Turkish Cypriot athletes and called on international sport communities to lift isolations targeting them.

We, Turkey, continue to support our Turkish Cypriot brothers to have presence in the international sports arena, he added.
