The British Residents Society, an association established by Britons living in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), made a call on the United Kingdom Government to end all embargoes placed on the TRNC, permit direct flights between the TRNC and Britain, open the ports of the TRNC to free trade and keep promises made to the Turkish Cypriots prior to the referendum in the island.
The new board of directors of the British Residents Society were elected and several political decisions were made on Tuesday.
The spokesperson of the TRNC based association British Residents Society, Hakan Caydamli, said that Morton Coles was elected the new president while Stephen Day
was elected the vice-president.
The association also demanded that the UK Government put pressure on the Greek Cypriots so that they do not object to Britain and EU's loyalty to their promises to Turkish Cypriots.
