TRNC plans to go ahead with the opening of Varosha - Tatar

TRNC ‘prime minister’ Ersin Tatar last week said reopening the closed-off area of Maras (Varosha) was still on the table.

Tatar on Wednesday last week said during a visit to Famagusta that reopening Varosha was among his ‘government’s’ projects. 

He said that they have focused on implementing a number of economic programes with the launch of the normalisation process after the pandemic crisis and the opening of Varosha was one of them.

Tatar reportedly said Famagusta was a culturally rich town and an attraction for tourists and that they wanted to continue with plans to reopen the fenced-off town. 

He added that they would set up a committee to oversee the project.

He added that he has also given instructions to resume the work on the development masterplan covering Famagusta and it's environs.
