Prime Minister Dervis Eroglu has said that finding a solution to the Cyprus problem until the end of the year seems very difficult.

The Premier told Turkey’s TRT-Turk channel that important progress has not yet been achieved at the negotiations continuing between the two sides.

He stated that it is too bad not to have an alternative while continuing the negotiations process and said `what is strengthening the hand of the President Mehmet Ali Talat at the table is the existence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus`.

Asked to comment on the statements by the Greek Cypriot Administration that a solution is not possible until the end of 2009, Mr Eroglu said it seems very difficult to reach this target as the Greek Cypriot side is working hard to prevent the realization of this objective drawn up by the TRNC people.

The Premier added that it is not possible to say that important progress has been achieved on the six chapters discussed at the talks so far.

On Guarantees and Security chapter which is now being discussed by the two leaders, Mr. Eroglu said the agreements giving the guarantor powers the right to intervene are very important for the two peoples of the island.

He noted that the issue of guarantees is concerning the Turks of Cyprus as well as the three guarantor powers Turkey, Greece and Britain.
`The removal of Turkey’s guaranty and the withdrawal of Turkish troops will raise concerns about our existence and future. We are tired of thinking what will happen to us` he said.

The Prime Minister noted that the Turks of Cyprus is getting tired of hearing questions like “which places are to be given”, “how many Turks who came to Cyprus will return to Turkey and how many will not” and “how many will be displaced again”, at the launch of a new negotiation process.

He stressed that the TRNC people is in favor of a solution which will maintain Turkey’s position as a guarantor power and which will not force the Turks of Cyprus – who were displaced three times - to be made refugees again.

Mr. Eroglu also said that the latest surveys showed that the Turks of Cyprus have started to support the existence of two states instead of a federation.

Asked to comment on media reports that the TRNC leadership is abandoning the idea of two founding states, he said ‘we are insistently saying that we are supporting our President at the talks, however, we are also saying that it is a mistake for President Talat to sit at the table as if he has no other alternative. From time to time, he (President Talat) should give the Greek Cypriot Leader Christofias the message that he has got alternatives`.

Stressing that the existence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is strengthening the hand of the President at the table, Mr Eroglu said that President Talat should use this as a weapon when necessary.

`If Christofias says that he will leave the negotiation table if the Turkish Cypriot side does not accept single sovereignty and single identity, President Talat should show the courage to tell him that he can leave if he wants” he noted.

The Premier stated that nothing is worse than not to have an alternative in a negotiation process.

He is showing his complete and utter disregard for the Turkish Cypriots in grouping them together with the settlers. He now , as we know , refers to just the " Turks of Cyprus" no mention of the T/Cs . The Turks of Cyprus are those imported from Turkey not the T/Cs.
Turkey has made a grave error in renaming the indigenous T/Cs as the Turks of Cyprus. Most T/Cs will see this as the nail of the coffin , will they react ? Time will show.

What did you expect from an ex-TMT man Milt. Will TCs react? I suspect the Turks of Cyprus may be offended by the remark from being excluded of being TCs having lived there for 35 years then the other way round. Real TCs know what UBP and Eroglu is all about. When I say TCs, I mean anyone who was born in TRNC. I suspect they want be voting for him next time, especially if there is no settlement.
