The Secretary General of the Republican Turkish Party United Force Omer Kalyoncu has called on everyone who supports a solution in Cyprus to gather at the Inonu Square in the capital Lefkosa on the 1st of September world Peace Day.

The aim of this gathering is to give a positive message to the world on the eve of the negotiations process in Cyprus.

In a statement he made, Mr. Kalyoncu said that for the negotiations process to proceed in a positive atmosphere, President Mehmet Ali Talat who is representing the Turkish Cypriot people must be supported in order to hold a strong position at the negotiations table.

He said the 1st of September World Peace Day was the perfect opportunity to show that the Turkish Cypriot people support a bi-communal, bi-zonal federal solution based on political equality under the United Nations umbrella in Cyprus.
Noting that circles against a solution in Cyprus were preparing to sabotage the 3rd of September talks that are scheduled to take place between the two leaders in Cyprus, Kalyoncu said the best way to stop these circles from achieving their goal is for the people to support the negotiations process.

He said on the 1st of September the Turkish Cypriot people should show the world that their stance towards finding a solution to the Cyprus problem hasn’t changed.

We the TC's made big mistake by not letting the People of the Pirgos to use Yesilırmak gate .
the good will of the Pirgos wouldn't let down . I hope our leadership will understand what a big mistake they made .

İf the road wasn't safety for use ,why they let the TC's to use it .Someting must be behind this stupid idea .

If we look after everymeeting both sides leaders were saying they will talk how to open the Yesilırmak gate . After every meeting they mationed about the yesilırmak . very bad ....

looks like we are watching same play again which was on for ledra (lokmaci) gate .

by good will from both sides this gate will collapse down too .
