"Talat: First step towards goal of lifting isolation
President of the Northern Republic of Turkish Cyprus (TRNC) Mehmet Ali Talat said while attending the Peace and Freedom Festival on Sunday that he hoped the visit of Azerbaijan parliamentarians to the island was a step towards 'the lifting of isolation imposed on Turkish Cypriots.' The Azerbaijan delegation flew from Istanbul to Ercan airport before attending the festival. When asked to comment on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who said that the visit of Azerbaijan deputies – who flew from Istanbul to Ercan – was a 'de facto' recognition of TRNC, Talat said, ' the real goal of the visit is lifting isolation.'"
