Cyprus Mail reports on a landmark bill has been tabled in the UK Parliament by MP Sammy Wilson calling for direct flights to Ercan Airport in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

This marks the first such proposal since 2007 and highlights growing parliamentary support for the rights and recognition of Turkish Cypriots.

The bill urges the UK Government to engage with the TRNC and reconsider outdated restrictions that isolate its people.

The move has been welcomed by campaigners as a major development in the fight for fairness, equality, and practical engagement.

It also reflects an increasing awareness in Westminster of the unjust treatment Turkish Cypriots face.
