TFR and BRS join Forces to lobby the TRNC Government

By Ralph Kratzer …. TFR Information an Internet Officer…..

Members of the committees of the BRS (British Residents Society) and TFR (The Foreign Residents in the TRNC) – had a successful meeting…

The main topic was to coordinate and join forces in our meetings with the Ministries of the TRNC.

With the background of the latest changes to the property law and open questions about the residency process (which now includes the exemption regulation for over 60s), amongst other issues, it was agreed that it makes sense to coordinate our activities because we are literally singing from the same hymn sheet.

It will also ease the way to get meetings with the different Ministers and their staff when they know that the 2 biggest associations for foreigners in the TRNC are working together.

This is not a merger of both societies, but the start of a process of working together…

I personally would like to thank Pete Wilkins (BRS President) for always working genuinely together with me and making this meeting happen.

Other participants of the meeting were:

Horst Gutowski (TFR Chairman), Julian Mawdesley (BRS Chairman), Caroline Houghton (TFR Deputy Chair), Hakan Redif (BRS Government Liaison) and me Ralph Kratzer (TFR Information and Internet Officer).

I hope this will help get problems sorted with the TRNC government in the interest of all foreign residents living in the TRNC.
