The leader of the Turkish Cypriot community will demand the recognition of the sovereignty of the pseudo-state of Northern Cyprus Ersin Tatar attending the informal Geneva conference on the Cyprus issue as he revealed speaking to Turkish media Voice of America.
According to the Cyprus News Agency, Mr. Tatar said: “I want my sovereignty to be recognized. After all, my sovereignty exists. No one can take it from my hands. And it will continue to exist. Turkey recognizes me. That is why I will say there “recognize my sovereignty, my state, the Turkish Cypriot democracy exists, it has been producing work for 60 years. Come through this structure, here, with mutual respect, with mutual recognition, on the basis of sovereign equality to reach an agreement “. “When we reach such an agreement, the whole of Cyprus will benefit, stability will come to the region again.”
He added that “peace, prosperity and not shedding blood, as was achieved with the intervention of Mehmetic in Cyprus (s.s. means the Turkish army) will be continued. Otherwise the tension will continue. “Because the Greek Cypriots who entered the European Union alone cannot use it to easily expel us from here to Turkey.”
At the same time, Mr. Tatar criticized the Turkish Cypriots who say they want a federation, citing Mustafa Akinci as an example, saying that “this is a dangerous path since what the Greek Cypriots want as a federation and what the Turkish Cypriots want as a federation is not the same. This road can take us back to the dark days of the ’60s. We may lose our national identity. Will all this self-denial of so many years be lost? We will definitely not leave our state. “
THE opposite side, he continued referring to the Greek Cypriot, says that its own state will continue to exist and the Turkish Cypriots will become a patch in it. “If I become a patch, what will be my future?” That is why the Greek Cypriots will have their own state and the Turkish Cypriots their own. They have to discuss these based on the facts. I do not see mutual respect, I can not find reciprocity. If there is good intention and it is accepted that in Cyprus there are two separate, equal peoples and it is accepted that the sovereignty of these peoples who have been fighting from the past to the present is recognized, then an agreement can be found based on sovereign equality of two who will live side by side and cooperate in every issue “
He concluded: “We finally say that we do not want state-by-state negotiations. This will be a win win deal. In the event of such an agreement, Turkish ports and airports will be open to Greek Cypriot businessmen and their ships, such as Turkey’s national airspace. There can be many kinds of cooperation with Turkey, including the issue of hydrocarbons. “And the Turkish Cypriots will escape the embargo and isolation and will be able to develop their economy.”
