The demand of the Greek Cypriot side for the abolition of the Turkish guarantees and the removal of the Turkish army from the island, are the red lines that the Turkish Cypriot side does not abandon, and proves that the Greek Cypriot side does not accept sovereign equality, said the T / C leader, Ersin Tatar.
As broadcast by the occupiers, in a written statement and commenting on reports by the Greek negotiator, Andreas Mavrogiannis (ss: interview in the newspaper Simerini yesterday, Sunday) that the request of the Turkish Cypriot side for sovereign equality will be the end of the place, “In fact, it shows once again that the Greek Cypriot mentality has not changed and is not going to change. “According to the word 'homeland' used by Mavrogiannis, the sole owner and master of Cyprus is the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish people are a minority.” (ss: The newspaper Simerini reports that Mr. Mavrogiannis spoke about “the end of our place”. Mr. Tatar used the Turkish word memleket which means homeland).
The T / C leader also claimed that President Anastasiadis in many of his statements to date has said that the T / C are a minority and that minorities do not have sovereign and political equality, something that – Mr. Tatar claimed – “has revealed the outdated , racist and dominant e / k mentality “.
“Here it must be clarified once again that the guarantees of Turkey, the existence of the Turkish army in Cyprus and our sovereignty and political equality, are our red lines and we will never abandon them. “Because abandoning them means accepting the e / k balance,” he said.
Ersin Tatar reiterated that the negotiations that have been going on for years have been fruitless in Mont Peléran and Crans Montana due to the “outdated mentality and negative attitude of the Greek Cypriot side” and argued that the federal solution model was exhausted and came to the fore. on the Turkish side the solution of two states that will be based on sovereign equality and will live side by side having equal rights.
This model, he continued, is supported by the strongest and largest country in the region, Turkey. And while he finds acceptance in the international community, said Mr. Tatar, the e / k side systematically and consciously makes unacceptable demands and challenges that increase the tension.
We want to implement a solution model based on two sovereign equal states and our efforts will continue despite the challenges of the Greek Cypriot side, concluded Mr. Tatar.
