Turkey is in favor of a fair, permanent, sustainable solution on Cyprus, Turkish President said on Monday.
“GREEK SIDE HAS NO INTENTION OF ACCEPTING SOLUTION”
“The efforts of the Turkish side alone are not enough for a solution,” Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told reporters after meeting with Ersin Tatar, the newly elected president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). “It is obvious that the Greek side has no intention of accepting a solution on the basis of the equal partnership of the Turkish Cypriot people.” he added.
The reason for the current situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is the Greek/Greek Cypriot duo, who have not heeded Turkey’s warnings since 2003 and have ignored its constructive suggestions, said Erdoğan. Erdoğan said that he will pay a visit to Northern Cyprus on Nov. 15. Last Friday Tatar was sworn in as the country’s president.
For his part, Tatar hailed Turkey’s proposal for a five-party conference on the Cyprus issue, calling it the “last chance for an agreement.”
