THE TURKISH Cypriot Chamber of Trade chairman Salih Tunar said yesterday the 53 Turkish Cypriot traders that took part in the 30th Cyprus International Fair had no regrets at their participation.

�I believe we achieved our aim,� the north�s Chamber of Industry chairman Salih Tunar told the Cyprus Mail yesterday.

�Our aim was to broaden economic ties between the two communities, which is something we believed would help with healing the division of the island,� Tunar added.
Tunar�s comments came a day after the end of the week-long fair.

�We have carried out a survey on our members that took part, and although we haven�t fully analysed the results yet, at first glance it looks as though most had no regrets about taking part.�"
