It is going to make no sense for us to sit down on the desk underneath the previous circumstances and begin official negotiations with out the popularity of sovereign equality and equal worldwide standing. Whereas the opposite occasion continues on its manner because the Republic of Cyprus, we now have already seen in yesterday’s assembly that they didn’t have good intentions by utilizing all their benefits, together with the membership of the European Union, to their benefit. We noticed it on the assembly.

“DO NOT EXPECT THIS FROM US”

Wanting into the eyes of the British International Secretary (Dominic Raab), I stated this: Within the debates earlier than 1960, a unitary, or somewhat purposeful federation was envisaged. The purposeful federation lasted solely 3 years. After 3 years, Turkish Cypriots had been expelled from the state. After 60 years, we established a state after some unfair practices comparable to all of the sacrifices, sacrifices, efforts, every kind of restrictions and embargoes. We’re presently on our manner with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Nobody ought to anticipate us to desert this and patch a construction that has no floor.”

“LIKE AN INSTALLED PLATE…”

Çavuşoğlu, pointing to Greek Cypriot President Nikos Anastasiadis, “He could not deliver a brand new imaginative and prescient to the assembly. He repeated his previous rhetoric like a caught file.The general public aspect opposed sovereign equality. We’ll proceed to strongly assist the TRNC’s two-state answer proposal primarily based on sovereign equality.” he stated.

Minister Çavuşoğlu made the next evaluation on the press convention:

“WE FULL SUPPORT TO THE TRNC’S PROPOSAL”

“The aim of the assembly was to hunt widespread floor for a brand new negotiation course of. President Tatar strongly expressed his imaginative and prescient for a two-state answer primarily based on sovereign equality. He made a historic speech. He shared his proposal in writing with all events. We absolutely supported this proposal of the Republic of Turkey.

I wish to thank Mr. Tatar for his management and decided stance. On the assembly, we defined that the essence of the Cyprus problem is the continuation of the dominance mentality of the Greek Cypriot aspect, and the unjust and illegal recognition as the one consultant of the Island. Because of this, we emphasised {that a} new course of will be began if the sovereign equality of the Turkish Cypriot aspect is delivered and equal standing is acknowledged.

“SOVEREIGN AGAINST EQUALITY”

We stated {that a} new negotiation course of must be between two states, not between two communities. We’ve got particularly said that this method may also stop the standing of Turkish Cypriots from remaining unsure within the occasion {that a} future negotiation course of or an answer to be discovered fails.

As in Crans Montana and earlier than, the chief of the Greek Cypriot Administration repeated his declare that if the Turkish Cypriots got equality, the partnership state wouldn’t be purposeful. The sovereign opposed equality. He even stated that allow alone sovereign equality as a state, Turkish Cypriots is not going to even have sovereign equality as a society. On this sense, the Secretary Normal additionally rejected Guterres’s proposals. He stated to the face of the Secretary Normal that he wouldn’t settle for it.

“THEY TRIED TO TALK FROM THE UPPER SCREEN”

They ceaselessly said that the difficulty was the evolution of the Republic of Cyprus to incorporate the Turkish Cypriots. He once more tied the equality of the Turkish Cypriots to circumstances. He wished to choose up the place he left off in Crans Montana in 2017 as if nothing had occurred. (of Anastasiadis) this equality; the rotating presidency stated that we needed to fulfill his majesty to ensure that him to simply accept all these, together with +1 vote. We requested the restrict of his satisfaction, he couldn’t give a solution. We wish to emphasize that we’re asking this with out sarcasm. They tried to talk from the highest, however they acquired the required solutions from our President Ersin Tatar and additionally from us.”

“HE STARTED TO DENIED, WE PUT THE PHOTO COPY IN FRONT”

Later, we had the chance to see within the questions and solutions that Crans Montana’s want to proceed the place we left off was not honest. I believe he tried to neglect that he was the one who knocked over the desk in Crans Montana, however we reminded him once more. He tried to disclaim the paperwork he had given earlier than he got here to the assembly. Once we put the photocopy in entrance of him, we noticed that he was stunned what to do.

Right here, we now have put earlier than them the written textual content that states that the Greek Cypriot aspect is not going to settle for the rotating presidency it doesn’t matter what. It’s our responsibility to place their insincerity of their face. As a buddy of yours who is aware of what occurred previously, we wish to say that we’re doing what is important.

GREEK LEADER’S OFFER FOR MARAŞ, ERCAN AIRPORT AND PORT OF GAZİMAĞUSA

Each we and Mr. Tatar reminded our interlocutors that we closed the federation e book in 2017. There is no such thing as a change within the angle of the Greek Cypriot Administration. To be able to change the agenda, the chief of the Greek Cypriot administration had the audacity to suggest that Maraş and Ercan Airport be positioned underneath UN management, and Famagusta Port underneath European Union management. They can’t be taken critically. We informed them that too.

As well as, the hydrocarbon problem, the earnings sharing problem on the Island, is a vital problem that causes stress within the Jap Mediterranean. On this regard, it has additionally clearly proven that it doesn’t wish to share its hydrocarbon revenues with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriots. As anticipated, Greece hid behind the UN Safety Council resolutions envisaging federation. He advocated the renegotiation of the federation mannequin, which has failed for 50 years. We additionally stated that the previous UN Safety Council resolutions don’t replicate right now’s realities and the widespread will of the 2 sides, and that they are often modified if the events want.

“WE WILL CONTINUE OUR SOLID POSITION”

Britain and the Secretary-Normal searched the bottom to see if a center floor may very well be discovered. Consequently, no widespread floor was discovered on the assembly to start out a brand new negotiation course of. Thereupon, the Secretary Normal stated that he wished to proceed unofficially in search of the bottom for a number of extra months. We additionally supported this choice. Consequently, the 5+1 assembly proposal got here from us.

We’ll preserve our agency stance within the upcoming interval. We’ll proceed to strongly assist the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’s imaginative and prescient and proposal for a two-state answer primarily based on sovereign equality.

“IT IS A HISTORICAL TURNING POINT”

We is not going to compromise on the independence, sovereignty and equality of the TRNC. If these are delivered, the 2 states can negotiate how they will cooperate sooner or later. If it isn’t delivered, we are going to proceed on our manner with the TRNC. The Geneva assembly is a historic turning level within the 58-year-old Cyprus problem. The Turkish aspect has registered the two-state answer mannequin primarily based on sovereign equality.

That is truly the battle for the independence and sovereignty of the TRNC. As Turkey, we are going to proceed to face by the TRNC and Turkish Cypriot individuals on this long-term battle.”
