“It just came to our knowledge then two separate towns Y two separate states founded by these peoples in Cyprus. At this point, we believe that the initiation of negotiations solely on its basis federation could be waste of time. Turkey’s desire for a just solution in Cyprus is enduring. As we protect our rights over our continental shelf in the eastern Mediterranean, we also continue to protect the legal rights and interests of the Turkish Cypriot people, who are the co-owners of the island. The reason for the current situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is the duo of Greece and Greek Cypriots, who have ignored our warnings and ignored our constructive proposals since 2003. This game is over. “Any effort in the region that does not count Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots is doomed to fail.”
For his part, Tatar, after declaring that Turkey is both a “sister” and a “homeland”, said: “Turkey’s proposal to five-participant conference (ss on the Cyprus question) is, in our opinion, the last chance. In our opinion, the proposal that the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” convene a conference to discuss developments in the Eastern Mediterranean is realistic and constructive. The hydrocarbon issue is a test of honesty for the Greek Cypriot side. “As far as Varosha is concerned, the first step according to our government’s roadmap was to open them.”
