TRNC PRESIDENT TALAT RESPONDS TO GREEK CYPRIOT CRITICISM OVER THE YESILIRMAK GATE(LIMNIDI)

Yesilirmak Gate remains controversial…
President Mehmet Ali Talat has reacted against the Greek Cypriot side’s blaming statements over the opening of the Yesilirmak Gate for crossings.
`We are not being incoherent as they claim. Our argument has been the same since the beginning and we have not presented anything new on the Yesilirmak issue` the President stressed.

Speaking at a panel this morning, President Mehmet Ali Talat said the negotiations process is continuing with ups and downs.
He said yesterday’s round with the Greek Cypriot Leader Demetris Christofias was marked by manipulation.

`Mr Christofias walked off the meeting by coming up with the issue of the Yesilirmak Gate. Our topic was the Economy but he used Yesilirmak as an excuse to leave the table` he added.

President Talat explained that the opening of the Yesilirmak Gate has been on the agenda with the goal to ease the arrival to capital Lefkosa for people coming from the Pirgo village and around.

`Since the beginning, we demand free access to Erenkoy for crossings in return for the Yesilirmak opening. We spoke of everything needed except the weapon and munitions. However, the Greek Cypriot side tries to show us like we asked for something new when it claims that we have not mentioned the fuel oil before. But there is nothing new in that` Talat said.
He strongly reacted against Christofias who accused the Turkish Cypriot side of being greedy, in a press statement at the end of yesterday’s meeting.

Mehmet Ali Talat said a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem is what really matters for the Turkish Cypriot Side.

`This country needs a solution. And Turkish Cypriots need it most under current conditions. We have encouraging reasons for looking for a settlement but the Greek Cypriot Side does not have enough motivation for that. Because it’s a member of the EU. When they can’t catch it up, the EU is there to support them` he added.

Calling on the international community to take necessary measures to make the Greek Cypriot side want a settlement, Talat emphasized that the removal of international isolation on Turkish Cypriots and the establishment of direct flights will form a good example to these measures.

`That’s the only way to motivate the Greek Cypriot side` he said.
The President went on to say that the Turkish Cypriot side wants a solution on the basis of the UN parameters, noting however that Mr Christofias has some opposing views to some articles included in those parameters.

`Christofias opposes to UN parameters which envisage a bi-zonal federal structure in Cyprus while Turkish Cypriots will have their founding state in which they will form the majority in terms of population and property. But he accepts some UN Security Council reports as parameters which mention demilitarization` the President noted.

Talat stated that the Turkish Cypriot arguments presented on the negotiations table- which he said are satisfactory- has been embraced by the international community.
The President finalized his speech by reiterating the Turkish Cypriot side’s commitment to the negotiations process together with Turkey’s support.

As if Talat's political stance regarding the solution of Cyprus problem is any different than Turkey's?

Poor Jerry, u think Talat and vast majority of TCs r actually hell-bent on accepting minority status, kicking Turkish army out and embracing Hellenic national guard, returning their homes, kicking out all "settlers" but Turkey prevents them doing these?

U r ultra ridicilous.

So what came first, Insan, the chicken or the egg, or in this case, Talat or the turkey.!

[DT.]

As far as Limnitis is concerned this doesn't matter. It was agreed along with the other crossings that Limnitis was to be opened. The army stepped in AFTER talat made the agreement and decided to add caveats.

1) Fuel transfer into the army camp
2) Electricity supply into the army camp
3) Free movement of non-tc (turkish mainland) individuals to and from the army camp.

This is so ridiculous its funny. Army invades, army kicks out inhabitants from their homes, army occupies their homes......army want fuel and electricity from said inhabitants....
