MyKibris reports on Lord Balfe’s latest remarks in the UK Parliament, where he described the ongoing embargoes and international isolation of the TRNC as “outrageous” and hypocritical.

Speaking at an event honouring Turkish Cypriot poet Osman Türkay, he highlighted the inconsistency of allowing direct flights to Taiwan but not to Ercan.

His statement is part of a growing wave of British parliamentary voices calling for an end to the unfair treatment of Turkish Cypriots.

The event also reflects increasing momentum in UK–Northern Cyprus engagement, which has gained significant ground under President Ersin Tatar’s leadership.
