TRNC President Mehmet Ali Talat has criticized the Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister for his words that the meeting expected to take place between him and the US Secretary of State would not take place.

“He may be right, if the US is being ruled by the Greek Cypriot Administration”, the President said, adding that the Administration did not have the capacity to do that.

“It is not the end of the world. It was just an invitation. If the Greek Cypriot Administration prevents the realization of the visit by issuing threats, it is stronger than the super power`, the President said while responding to reporters’ questions on the issue.

`We received information that an invitation would be extended to us. I welcomed it` he said, adding that he was later told that the date proposed for his meeting with the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not appropriate for Clinton.

`There is nothing for the Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister to get excited about`, he noted.

President Talat: “If the Greek Cypriot Administration Can Cancel an Invitation by … Threatening the World, then it is More Powerful than the Super Power”
President Mehmet Ali Talat today was asked to comment on Greek Cypriot reports claiming that his visit to the United States of America has been cancelled.

“If the Greek Cypriot Administration can wrestle to cancel an invitation by threatening the world, then it is more powerful than the superpower,” said Talat. “Or it has the ability to do this by making a lot of noise.”

Asked to comment on statements by Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister that the visit was cancelled, Talat said:

“If the Greek Cypriot Administration is controlling the United States of America, then what he said might be true. But as far as I know, the Greek Cypriot Administration has no such power and capacity. As I said before, (cancellation) would not mean the end of the world. If the Greek Cypriot Administration can wrestle to cancel an invitation by threatening the world, then it is more powerful than the superpower. Or it has the ability to do this by making a lot of noise. I am not the one who should be ashamed of this. It doesn’t matter to me. I did not seek this (visit) anyway. I received information that such an invitation was expected. And I responded positively. In the end, they said “it did not fit in the schedule,” and I said “thank you.” I had nothing else to say. I don’t see why the Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister was so excited.”

Asked whether he had raised the issue with Greek Cypriot Leader Demetris Christofias, Talat said; “No, why would I?” Talat stated that those who are responsible are shameful.

President Talat: “(With Regard to Visit to U.S.A) There is Neither Confirmation Nor a Negative Response”


President Mehmet Ali Talat said that there is neither a confirmation nor a negative response with regard to the invitation to the United States of America for a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

President Talat stated that such a visit would be beneficial in terms of putting forward the position of the Turkish Cypriot side, its struggle for solution, and its stance and difficulties in negotiations. “However, if (the visit) doesn’t happen, it doesn’t matter. We will continue on our path,” Talat noted. “Our aim is to solve the Cyprus problem and to take steps that would integrate the Turkish Cypriots into the world. The visit would be beneficial. But if it does not take place, it won’t be the end of the world.”

President Talat noted that the Greek-Greek Cypriot lobby carried out a huge campaign to cancel the invitation. Talat underlined that they had not yet received a concrete information from the U.S. regarding the visit.

Political meeting are always between official politicians. A mukhtar can not easily of course meet with USA ministers so easy.

Then please explain meetings between heads-of-state and the Dalai Lama... In any case, Mehmet Ali Talat is internationally recognized as the Turkish Cypriot Leader, and the United States backs that title. The USA does not recognize him as a head-of-state, so don't be overly concerned about anything that may imply recognition on that basis...

This exactly what i am refering to. I do not reject Talat's right ,as person,to meet with international community but as a muckhtar not as president ,of course.Do not forget that he is seetting in a chair which was created as a result of an invasion.if you go to international law then you will realize that, is even inlegal for interntional leaders to meet him-not as person of course.
