No new beach opened in Varosha, says Tatar
The claims of the Greek side that a new beach has been opened in Varosha are not correct, Ersin Tatar said in a written statement, claiming that the Famagusta "municipality" is carrying out some improvement works for safety reasons for the benefit of those who use the beach that is open for use.
As reported from the occupied territories, in his written statement Tatar said that he does not find it right for the "e/K administration of northern Cyprus" as he describes the government of the Republic of Cyprus - to make these misleading claims while he considers it a positive development that the "municipality" of Famagusta is carrying out improvements for the benefit of the public.

"As I have repeatedly stated, the Varosha initiative is a step that will lead tdvk forward both economically and politically," he said, referring to the pseudo-state.
Stressing that they will resolutely pursue the new policy (on the Cyprus problem), which envisages the cooperation of two sovereign equal states and which they practice in full harmony with the motherland Turkey, with the support they receive from "the people", Tatar said he finds it very useful "to draw attention to the fact that we will not avoid taking all the necessary steps for the development of tdvk in every field in the new period".
With the opening of Varosha on 8 October 2020, he continues, the Famagusta region was revitalised and the status of the pseudo-state was upgraded. He notes that despite the pandemic, the fenced area was visited by a large number of local and foreign tourists and describes the weekend visit of the President of the Association of Chambers and Stock Exchanges, Rifat Hisardziklioglou, to Varossi as a "meaningful visit".
He reiterates his claim that Varosha "was not opened against international law", states that property and real estate can be returned to their rightful owners by applying to the "real estate commission" and argues that this initiative is an important step towards human rights and the elimination of hostage-taking.
