PRESIDENT ERSIN TATAR – MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE
President Ersin Tatar issued the following message of condolence 
“I was shocked to hear about the tragic death of Sir David Amess, Conservative Party MP from Essex.
Sir David was a long-time friend of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and he will always be remembered for his principled stand for fairness and justice towards the Turkish Cypriot people.
On behalf of myself, my family, and the people of the TRNC, I wish to express my profound condolences and sympathies to his family, his constituencies, and his loved ones.
May he rest in peace.”

Editor’s Note: BRS have an excellent members’ Facebook page which gives information and allows members to ask questions however Facebook is excellent for sharing of information but it is no more than a stream of information and BRS found many questions were being asked time and time again so the BRS team developed BRITBOT on their website where members could retrieve information published on many past subjects.
