Addressing the government, President of the Turkish Cypriot Realtors Association, Hasan Sungur, said, “We invite the government to change the flawed articles in the Law on the Sale of Immovable Property to Foreigners, which puts the real estate sector in the country into a serious crisis. "In order to prevent the blackmail policy initiated by the Greek Cypriot side with the arrests, we must regain the support of foreign investors and ensure confidence in the real estate sector," he said.
In his written statement, Hasan Sungur, President of the Turkish Cypriot Realtors Association, pointed out that the Greek administration, which was disturbed by the recent growth of the real estate sector and economy in the country, initiated arrests in the South and said, "The aim was to create a monster of fear. While this monster of fear was being created, we inexplicably passed a law that virtually supported the campaign launched by the Greeks and locked the system. "This law regarding the sale of real estate to foreigners has damaged our economy at least as much as the arrests." made his assessment.
“We offended foreigners”
Sungur included the following opinions in his statement:
“While we should have drawn these foreigners, to whom we sell goods, to our side and organized them against the South and complained about the Greek administration to the world, on the contrary, we managed to make them angry and unhappy with our latest law against foreigners.
In order to keep the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus alive forever and strengthen our state, we must first prevent the steps taken by the Greek Cypriots against our economy, and then reorganize our mourning that makes foreigners who invest in our country unhappy, which is the basis for these actions of the Greeks. "With this move, we can show the world that we are a state ready to embrace everyone who loves us, and we can use foreigners to happily invest in our country as our allies, against Greek propaganda."
Sungur emphasized that they fully support the march that will be held tomorrow morning at 09.00 from the Civil Defense Facilities in Nicosia Ortaköy to the Metehan Border Gate and invited all its members to this action.
Thanking the sister organizations that organized the action, Sungur said that their hope is to stop the attacks on business people and the economy from the South, to eliminate the threats and then to implement measures as soon as possible that will not damage the image of foreigners who have invested in Northern Cyprus in the TRNC and will eliminate the damage caused by the law against them. He noted that it was.
Sungur said, “At this point, we have confidence in the government. But they are late in doing this. "It is of vital importance that we take into account the sensitivity of foreigners who have invested in our country, and instead of making them run away from the country and making them unhappy, we restore the country to the image of an investment country in the Mediterranean." he said.
