Tatar underlined the importance of Erdoğan making the north his first overseas visit since being reelected, telling the Anadolu Agency that “Erdoğan’s visit here shows the importance and the value which Turkey places on the ‘TRNC’ in the face of the embargoes and the isolation which the international community subjects us to”.
