In a statement of the Bar Council jointly issued by its President Hasan Sozmener and the General Secretary Feyzi Hansel, it is said that the Council will examine the critical issue in detail as soon as possible.
The statement stressed the need for the Turkish side to urgently evaluate the developments and take a decision.
`If the conditions reached after years of struggle at negotiations will be repealed by a court’s judgment, and if it’s not legally possible to prevent this from happening, then there is no need to waste time at the negotiations table` the statement said.
The Bar Council stated that politics is involved in the ECJ’s judgment and the right of property is set prior to all other rights, despite of the fact that there are rights which are prior to the right of property.
`It has been proved that individual appeals at international courts, which challenge the solution aspects of the Cyprus problem agreed by political figures in Cyprus, will continue. These courts act with political influence and it’s a high possibility that they will repeal the solution issues agreed on by the two sides` the Bar Council said.
A wide criticism of the ECJ judgment also came from various platforms based in the TRNC.
Platforms expressed the view that the Turkish Cypriot side should immediately withdraw from the negotiations table in order to avoid further derogation.
Making such a judgment, while the two leaders maintain their peace talks, will harm negotiations, they said.
The Turkish Cypriot Bar Council...is this some kind of a sick joke?...
not funny...
