Turkish Cypriot Premier Dervis Eroglu will travel to London on an informal visit.

Eroglu will deliver a speech at an event hosted by England Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce and share his views with Turkish Cypriots living in England.

Eroglu who is running for president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in the upcoming election aims at winning the election in the first round, with a landslide victory.

Eroglu's visit to England which is home to a large population of Turkish Cypriots comes shortly after Eroglu's nomination.

National Unity Party (UNP) Leader Eroglu was officially nominated by his party on Wednesday.

Eroglu is expected to meet with Kenneth Wiggins Maginnis, member of the Friendship Group of the British House of Commons and a group of Turkish Cypriot businessmen before returning to TRNC on Sunday.

It would be interesting to know if Eroglu would consider recognizing certain countries such as Somaliland, Transdnistra, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Kosovo, and the Republic of China (Taiwan) once he becomes President of the TRNC.

Why would that be interesting?



There would be a lot more pressing issues within the TRNC and it would be more interesting to know how he would handle them.......

re msg 2



The very thought of the significance of recognition by 'TRNC' of ( say) Abkhazia must be something keeping the Georgians from sleeping at night ;)
