FREEDOM AND FAIRNESS FOR NORTHERN CYPRUS HAS ONE AIM:
To end the unfair isolation of the Turkish Cypriot people by advocating for direct flights, direct trade, and direct contact with Northern Cyprus – ensuring Turkish Cypriots are treated with fairness, equality, and dignity on the international stage.
THE CURRENT STATUS QUO IS UNSUSTAINABLE AND UNJUST.
For over a century the plight of Turkish Cypriots has been overlooked. History has been distorted and bent. Northern Cyprus and its 380,000 citizens, as well as thousands of British expats have and continue to be unfairly punished.
Since 1963 there have been 11 UN proposals to resolve the issue. Referendums to unite the island in 2004 were voted in favour of by the North. The South rejected all these attempts for peace. In spite of the North showing a willingness to resolve the issue, the Turkish Cypriots continue to be penalised.
A FAIRER FUTURE FOR NORTHERN CYPRUS
From trade to travel, education to sport, Turkish Cypriots continue to face unfair isolation despite repeated efforts to engage with the international community and support peaceful solutions in Cyprus.
For decades, direct flights, direct trade, and direct international contact with Northern Cyprus have remained restricted, limiting opportunities for ordinary Turkish Cypriots and deepening their isolation from the world.
It is time for a fairer and more constructive approach that ends the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot people and promotes equality, engagement, and cooperation on the island.
Since 1983, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has operated as a sovereign, independent, democratic state with a national identity and ambitious population. However, due to the Southâs insistence on maintaining the current, failed status quo, they enjoy international recognition and its benefits while the North is isolated.
ENDING THE ISOLATION OF TURKISH CYPRIOTS
Turkish Cypriots have spent decades facing restrictions on direct travel, trade, sport, and international representation despite supporting numerous efforts aimed at resolving the Cyprus issue.
Ending the unfair isolation of the Turkish Cypriot people is not about division – it is about fairness, equality, and ensuring that an entire people are no longer excluded from the international sphere.
Greater direct contact, engagement, and cooperation can help build a more stable, connected, and peaceful future for everyone on the island.
One island, two nations. FAIRNESS, EQUALITY, AND DIRECT CONTACT FOR ALL.
This is what âFreedom and Fairnessâ is striving for. Whatâs not to like?
