I notice the ambassador referred to recent legislation being adopted to further facilitate the participation of Turkish Cypriots in European elections.
That is relevant as a form of outreach. Sixteen years ago the Good Friday Agreement was a signal to Northern nationalists and unionists that they would have more of a say about this jurisdiction and the Dáil and Seanad, but that has not happened. Mr. Stavrinos said that many Turkish Cypriots have recently left Cyprus. Is this a form of outreach to those Turkish Cypriot citizens?
