Allowing Trade deals with the Turkish Cypriot government of Northern (TRNC)

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Starting negotiations with the Turkish Cypriot government of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) will greatly benefit both the United Kingdom and the TRNC. NEW trade deals will be formed with the most beautiful country of Cyprus. This will allow access to the beautiful northern part of Cyprus.
There is a lot of potential for the Northern Part of Cyprus to be taken into account.e.g. Agriculture, tourism, manufacturing are areas that can be tapped into.
Facilitating talks to end the stale mate conditions is required.
