‘Varosha should be free trade zone for both sides’

Varosha “should be transformed into a free trade zone” and a “common living area” for both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, late Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash’s son Serdar Denktash said on Thursday.

Speaking on television channel Kanal Sim, he said the buffer zone should be expanded to include the fenced off area of Varosha in its entirety, and that, once rebuilt, it should become an area with which both sides of the island can freely trade and in which people from both of Cyprus’ communities can live.
