Pseudo-state ports will be upgraded to world standards and work will be accelerated to pave the way for their operation with a "public" and private sector partnership, said "Minister of Transport and Works" Erhan Arikli.
According to the GMP, a statement from the "ministry" said that in a statement made yesterday after a presentation at the port of occupied Famagusta, Arikli said both the port of Famagusta and the port of Kyrenia cannot contribute as they should to the economy of the "country" due to their current state.
He argued that especially if the Famagusta port is offered to tourism, it could play an important role in the development of both the region and the pseudo-state, despite the "embargoes". He listened, he continued, to the problems concerning the ports and the suggestions for solving them from the "management of the port authority" and the presidents of the ports, who gave him very useful information.
"We will speed up our work in relation to the operation of the Famagusta port in a public-private partnership to increase its contribution to the country's economy," he added.
