Former President of Northern Cyprus Ersin Tatar sharply criticized the decision of the Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence in France to extradite Lithuanian citizen Rasa Zilevich.

According to him, the property issue in Cyprus should be resolved within the framework of comprehensive political negotiations, not through criminal investigations and European arrest warrants.

Tatar also said that the use of legal mechanisms as an instrument of political pressure undermines the atmosphere of trust and hinders dialogue. He stressed that Turkish Cypriots intend to continue defending their rights and interests.
