London, Thanasis Gavos

Plan to transform Varosia into “Las Vegas in the Mediterranean” declares that he has seen British newspaper Daily Expresswriting that it is a proposal of “a joint venture of billionaire entrepreneurs from various regions of the world”.

The proposal is also supported by some “of the most successful hoteliers”, who see the United Nations-administered area of ​​Famagusta as the best location for this “one billion pound” venture.

The publication comments that this plan will meet resistance from the United Nations and the government of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as that “it could create a problem for King Charles”.

The involvement of Charles’ name has to do with a reference by the “TRNC government”, as stated in the publication, that the Golden Sands Hotel located on the shores of the deserted city is owned by the British monarch.

It is noted that the British royal family has previously denied claims of Charles’ ownership. The report adds that there are now also questions over whether the hotel complex, which has been empty since 1974, is now being used by British forces, which the Ministry of Defense denied in response to a question from an MP in London.

As emphasized, when this particular hotel opened in 1974, it was declared the first seven-star hotel in the world.

The proposal to which the Express refers reportedly calls for dozens of casinos, luxury hotels and resorts, shops and expensive restaurants in the area.

The publication adds that the proposal reflects growing irritation in the TRNC over the treatment of the occupied and “continued isolation”.

The position of the “President of the TRNC” Ersin Tatar, who has given quite a few interviews to this newspaper, about the “two-state solution” is highlighted.
