Breaking news… These are the highlights of Minister Çavuşoğlu’s statements:
The Greek newspaper made a despicable headline. We called the Greek ambassador to the ministry. There are elections in Cyprus. The will of the Turkish Cypriot people will be reflected at the ballot box. On the other hand, the Cyprus negotiations, but you have to take it to a selection of material and the evaluation of each statement made by Turkey in this direction, does not seem correct to us. The steps we have taken with regard to Cyprus are obvious. We have supported efforts since we came to power to achieve a permanent solution in Cyprus. We saw who wanted a solution and who didn’t. There were different efforts in the following period. A negotiation process has started and we strongly support it. The negotiation in Geneva was short. We fought for 11 days but we failed. We saw who wanted a solution and who didn’t. There were different efforts in the following period. A negotiation process has started and we strongly support it. The negotiation in Geneva was short. The Greek side and Greece took a step back, there was a negative environment.
“WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE BY FEDERATION”
The Secretary General put forward some ideas and we support them. Anastasiadis said that he could not find serious support for a 2-state solution so a confederation could be healthier and shared his ideas with us. We have something that we clearly say, we have repeatedly said that we will no longer negotiate for a federation. It is not possible for us to start negotiations where Crans-Montana ends, we will not start such negotiations again. That negotiation is over, it has failed. Our priority is options outside the federation. We can consider options like two states or confederations. If the federation negotiations continued, we would not have to hold the informal 5 + 1 meeting.
“Our position is WHAT TURKEY”
We do not enter into a negotiation in which we cannot obtain a result, we must start a negotiation in which we will obtain results. We know with great confidence that if we negotiate for the Federation we will not reach any conclusion. The Greek side does not want to share with the Turkish side in any way and does not want to share political equality. “We don’t even want to share our hospital with Turkish Cypriots,” Anastasiadis said. The Greek Cypriot community, which did not want to share anything with the Turkish side, did not take any action regarding energy resources. So there is no point embarking on a new adventure that will fail. Our position is clear from the beginning like Turkey.
