A pleasure to meet with Sir Iain Duncan Smith, who was in North Cyprus recently as part of his ongoing campaign to support direct flights between the United Kingdom and North Cyprus. @MPIainDS

Andrew Pierce (along with other members of the British media) seemed to enjoy meeting with Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus President Ersin Tatar, yet now he disparages him, Khan and North Cyprus. Disgusting. kktcb.org/en/president-e…

Did you know that since Ersin Tatar took office in 2020, 20 British Parliamentarians have visited the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus? This includes senior figures such as former Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, and Ministers Wendy Morton, Leo Docherty, and Stephen Doughty. So why are Greek Cypriot lobby groups now attacking Afzal Khan for doing exactly the same? And have MPs like Wendy Morton, who themselves visited the TRNC, suddenly developed selective amnesia? Dialogue should never be discredited - especially when the criticism is so blatantly hypocritical.

Wendy Morton celebrates Afzal Khan’s resignation. Yet this was her in 2021 👇 In the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, meeting President Ersin Tatar in the TRNC Presidency.

Wendy Morton MP@morton_wendy

It is right that Afzal Khan has resigned after this diplomatic mess was revealed and pressure from the Conservatives. Starmer should have had the courage to sack him, but once again was incapable of doing the right thing.

So as anyone can see it is common practice - and has been for decades - for ministers and politicians to visit the TRNC and meet with its leaders. To suggest there is anything wrong or "illegal" about this is laughable.

Hilarious hyprocisy on the part of @morton_wendy criticising Labour MP @AfzalKhanMCR for visiting the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Here's Morton visiting the TRNC as a minister in 2021 and fist-bumping its President @ErsinrTatar

Shadow #Europe Minister @morton_wendy MP: ‘A government representative would never visit occupied Donbas or Crimea. So for Afzal Khan to unofficially visit occupied northern Cyprus is totally unacceptable’ dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

I have demanded equal rights at the European Council Parliamentary Assembly.  Turkish Cypriot elected representatives should be entitled to have voting rights like the Greek Cypriot MPs. They are the one who had rejected all the previous unification plans and agreements. While they were being awarded as EU member, we are the one who are still penalized under restrictions & isolations! World is not fair!

The #Paris2024 women's high jump final will feature Turkish Cypriot Buse Savaşkan, who can't compete under the flag of North Cyprus because of unfair embargoes. Meanwhile a Russian athlete, Elena Kulichenko, will represent "Cyprus" simply because her father invested there.
