Celik [AKP]: Cyprus issue will not be resolved by begging in other parliaments

The Cyprus issue will not be resolved by begging in other parliaments, said the representative of the ruling AKP party Omer Celik, commenting on the speech of the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the American Congress.

He also said that “it is a shame for any of our neighbors to go and beg other parliaments not to give weapons to Turkey.”

Speaking after his party's Central Committee meeting, Omer Celik said: “What needs to be made clear on the Cyprus issue is the following: have been observed is 'τδβκ' & # 8221 ;.

According to Celik, & # 8220; 'tdbk' is a sovereign state, even if they do not want to hear it. Beyond that, an attitude of 'let's bring' tdbk 'to the table and treat it as a minority within a structure we call Cyprus' will in no way be accepted. Let them know clearly that this activity of the Greek lobby, this recent strategy of going out and begging for something from other parliaments, will not solve the issue in any way “.

According to Celik, there are some contradictions. “It is a shame for any of our neighbors to go and beg other parliaments not to give weapons to Turkey.” right and by what law, to equip the islands, which should be disarmed according to the agreements? What you call overflying over the islands is our aviation response to what your aviation is doing & # 8221 ;, he said, in response to what the Prime Minister of Greece said.

According to Celik, the Greek Coast Guard and FRONTEX & # 8220; punctured the migrants's boots, paving the way for so many deaths in the Mediterranean & # 8221; and wondered if this has been disputed.

& # 8220; In the Cyprus issue it is the ‘tdbk’ whose rights have been usurped. The 'tdbk' is a sovereign state, even if they do not listen to it. They will talk to Turkey, they will resolve their issues with Turkey. “Let them applaud in all the parliaments of the world if they want to,” said Omer Celik.
