Turkish Cypriot President Rauf Denktas stood as protector to his grandson, who gave rise to a scandal by applying for an identity card to the Greek Cypriot Administration. It was Rauf Denktas who gave consent to his grandson.
Rauf Denktas said, "My grandson asked for my consent. And I gave permission.
The Greek Cypriots destroyed the Republic of Cyprus in 1963. My grandson applied to enjoy the EU rights; it is not for the Greek nationality."
The President added, "Up-to-now, I did not say that the ones receiving (Greek Cypriot) identity cards and passports were traitors. If someone proves that I said, he shall come and put it in front of me. If I had said it in the past, it is probably for a different event; we can explain it."
Denktas defended his grandson as follows: "To receive a Greek Cypriot passport means in no way to recognize the Greek Cypriot. It means struggling to regain our EU rights step by step and not letting them seized.

As you see Zan even D's grandson has a CyR passport. ...as for your above comments, none can support them but those who insist on the same stubborn ideas.
