Concerns Raised Over Shopping Service from South Cyprus

The Cyprus Turkish Chamber of Commerce (KTTO) has called for an investigation into advertisements related to shopping services from South Cyprus to Northern Cyprus. The KTTO expressed serious concerns about how such posts could negatively impact local trade balances.

The advertisements on social media, promoting the message, 'We pick up your shopping from the South and bring it to Northern Cyprus,' are being closely scrutinized by the KTTO. They emphasize that such practices might harm local businesses and hinder the healthy functioning of trade.

The KTTO is questioning whether these services operate within a legal framework and whether consumer protection is being upheld. The transportation of goods from markets in South Cyprus to Northern Cyprus is viewed as a situation that could affect the current trading conditions.

Moreover, the KTTO's concerns are significant for the sustainability of the Northern Cyprus economy. There is a strong emphasis on the need to support local businesses and ensure consumer safety. The KTTO has stated that it will closely monitor this issue and take necessary actions.

It is highlighted that for the development of trade in Northern Cyprus, preference should be given to local products. The KTTO warns that the proliferation of such services could have adverse effects on the local economy, thus encouraging the public to shop consciously.
