North Cyprus News is sparse in Cyprus Today and a little bit irrelevant. The first article says it all, a UK peer complains about the British High Commissioner not traveling north and visiting Girne to tell ex-pats what is happening on Brexit, as if anyone knew!
Here are a few summaries of articles which may be of interest to someone, you never know. The main article could be summarised in a few words – expats are confused. They shouldn’t be, it’s simple, now over 60’s expats will have to apply for residency if they want to stay in North Cyprus for longer than 90 days, probably.
North Cyprus newspaper Daily Hakikat (03.10.19) has reported that North Cyprus Minister of Tourism and Environment, Unal Ustel, speaking to Hakikat Web TV, said that with the slogan “Let’s make the two million tourists become two billion” is the North Cyprus tourist goal for the number of tourists who will be visiting the TRNC next year.
If you want up to date North Cyprus News then Cyprus Today is not the best source. I suggest going online and using some of the better websites there, specialising on North Cyprus News. For example, North Cyprus Free Press. It’s a wonderful publication – only saying.

It doesn’t succeed with this edition, in my opinion.
This week’s Cyprus Today adds details to some of the articles already published on NCFP. North Cyprus News is best followed online as newspapers usually carry out of date news. I don’t know why Cyprus Today hasn’t moved into the internet in a much bigger way than it has, using adverts to monetise its online presence in the same way as the paper version – with adverts. Oh well.
