Turkish side draws bold red lines for Cyprus
ISTANBUL - Basic parameters of a solution to the decades-old Cyprus dispute such as political equality and Turkey’s guarantorship cannot be watered down, said the new foreign minister of northern Cyprus, where the National Unity Party government received the parliament’s vote of confidence.
"A non-watered down bizonality in Cyprus, political equality of the two peoples, equal status of the two constituent states and Turkey’s efficient guarantee is a must," Hüseyin Özgürgün told reporters Thursday at a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davutoğlu, in Ankara. "These are redlines and cannot be negotiated."
He said core issues such as land and property can be resolved only through negotiations, not through legal interference. "Attempts to back our motherland Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot people into a corner will bring no solution to anybody and will deal a heavy blow to the negotiating process," he added.
The Turkish side has so far seen European Parliament elections as an opportunity to ensure the representation of the Turkish Cypriots because two out of six seats allocated for the Cypriots belong to the Turkish Cypriots but today all six seats are occupied by the Greek Cypriots.
Özgürgün said: "Two out of the six seats owned by the Greek Cypriots belong to the Turks, but it is not well-known that the Turkish Cypriots are not taking part in the elections for the two seats, thus there are two seats confiscated by the Greek Cypriots."
The two foreign ministers criticized Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias who reportedly claimed that the Turkish Cypriots would be assimilated step by step after the resolution of the Cyprus problem.
Özgürgün slammed the statements of the Greek Cypriot leader as "unacceptable," while Davutoğlu said his remarks were not constructive.
Kisses, bro. U need to get used with it.
