“He failed to play any positive role, other than perhaps to identify the lack of common ground”
The work of the UN Secretary-General's personal envoy for Cyprus, Maria Ángela Holguin Cuejar, “didn't have any benefit”, claimed “Foreign Minister”, Tahsin Ertugruloglou.< /p>
Mr. Ertugruloglou argued that Ms. Holgin failed to play any positive role, other than perhaps identifying the lack of common ground, while he questioned her objectivity, saying that “she failed to maintain her neutrality”, but also her knowledge of the issue, claiming that she “knows nothing about the Cyprus issue”.
According to “ypex” Ms. Holgin went beyond her duties, urging Cypriots to criticize their leadership. Mr. Ertugruloglou also mentioned that the role of Mrs. Holgin is not a mediator, but is limited to investigating the existence of common ground for the resumption of talks.
At the same time, Ertugruloglou repeated his well-known positions on the Cyprus issue and argued that the withdrawal of the Turkish army would lead to chaos.
