TRNC Presidential Spokesman Hasan Ercakica gave his weekly press briefing today at the Presidential Palace.

Here he evaluated the latest stage reached during the Cyprus negotiations process.

Addressing journalists the Presidential Spokesman Hasan Ercakica informed them of the Turkish side’s stance regarding the talks, the Greek official’s statements, the negotiations process and the opening of the Yesilirmak gate.

He said that President Talat’s Ankara visit and the statements made during the 20th of July Peace and Freedom Day celebrations had once again clarified the Turkish sides’ views.

‘We want a solution to be found as soon as possible, a just, permanent and comprehensive solution, and for this solution to be simultaneously put to referenda’ said the spokesman.

He noted that ‘the solution will be based on UN parameters, bi-zonality, bicommunality, two politically equal peoples, a new partnership based on the equal status of the two founding states’, and added that the guarantees and alliance agreements will continue to exist after a solution is found’.

Referring to statements made by Turkish officials that the window of opportunity that has arisen will not last for ever, Mr. Ercakica said that ‘it must be understood that these statement means that the sides in Cyprus must continue the negotiations process with good will and constructively.’

Referring to statements made by the Greek Cypriot administration, Ercakica said the messages Greek officials have given regarding guarantees and citizenship rights, and the continuation of the Republic of Cyprus that has become a GreeK Cypriot Republic, will negatively affect the future of the Cyprus negotiations process.

Noting that the Greek Cypriot leader is displeased speaking about the aims for a solution Mr Ercakica said, the Greek Cypriot Administration would have to explain to the peoples of Cyprus and the rest of the world what he is trying to accomplish by sabotaging the peace efforts in Cyprus.

Explaining that the Greek Cypriot administration was continuing to act in a manner that would ruin the relationship between the two peoples on the island while the negotiations process was ongoing, Ercakica condemned the Greek Cypriot administration that tried to arrest a ship that loaded at the Gazimagosa Port, tried to sabotage international activities of the Turkish Cypriot tourism sector and for trying to expropriate an immovable property belonging to the Vakif foundations.

Upon being asked the latest state regarding the Yesilirmak gate, the Presidential spokesman said works were being carried out by the United Nations.

Asked another question regarding what the second phase of the negotiations will be, Ercakica said that currently no agreement had been reached about how the new phase would continue.

He added that the Turkish side had put forward new proposals which foresee the two leaders will continue to intensively discuss the issues that they have not reached agreement on power sharing, governance and property, while the aides will continue to discuss other issues.

Memorandum of understanding between the Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom
5 June 2008

The President of the Republic of Cyprus and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom hereby establish a framework for developing a stronger relationship between the UK and the Republic of Cyprus.

A reunited Cyprus will bring an end to conflict in the island and lead to greater prosperity for the people of Cyprus. A united Cyprus will be able to contribute further to the stability of the region and strengthen the EU’s ability to respond to global challenges.

Therefore the UK commends the leaders of the two communities on the process agreed on 21st March and 23rd May.

The Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom will cooperate in the following areas:

Both countries commit themselves to working together to reunify the island. The aim is a comprehensive and durable settlement based on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation and political equality, as defined by the relevant UN resolutions and the principles upon which the EU is founded.

This settlement must be based on a single sovereignty, international personality and a single citizenship.
Both countries support the on-going process under the Good Offices of the Secretary-General, including the move to full negotiations on a date agreed by the two leaders.

The UK and the Republic of Cyprus will work with the UN, with relevant support from the EU, to ensure a successful conclusion to the on-going process and the achievement of an agreed, negotiated solution, between the two communities, as soon as possible.

The two countries reiterate their commitment to their respective obligations under the Treaties signed in 1960.

The UK reiterates its commitment to its obligations as a Guarantor Power.

The UK will continue fully to respect existing UN resolutions on Cyprus, including UNSCRs 541 and 550. Therefore the UK will not support any moves towards the partition of the island or the recognition or up-grading of any separate political entity on the island.

In addition, the two countries will continue to work together in a constructive manner on all issues emanating from the Treaty of Establishment.

The UK and the Republic of Cyprus reaffirm their support for measures aimed at the economic integration of the island in accordance with the 26 of April 2004 EU Council Conclusions and helping to prepare the Turkish Cypriot community for reunification and the full application of the acquis communautaire on the basis of Protocol 10 of the Treaty of Accession.

The UK commends the measures taken and proposed by the Republic of Cyprus for the benefit of the Turkish Cypriot community. The UK will work with the Republic of Cyprus to help promote further contact between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in order to support the reunification of the island.

The UK recognises the positive proposal made by the Republic of Cyprus towards the establishment of an accreditation process for enabling the Turkish Cypriot higher education institutions to participate in international co-operation programmes.

The UK undertakes to continue to inform its citizens on the legal situation prevailing in Cyprus regarding the properties issue and relevant ECHR judgments.
The Republic of Cyprus and the UK will establish a programme of bilateral co-operation on a range of priority issues. It will identify common interests between the two countries, based on the common legal framework, administrative structures, economic complementarity, people-to-people ties and shared strategic interests.

This co-operation will be developed through exchange of best practice and direct co-operation in specific areas. The sectors to be covered will be identified, developed and adjusted by the diplomatic representatives in London and Nicosia. Initial priorities include:
Education and Health: schools, higher education, technical, vocational education and training;
Police and security issues: organised crime, counter-terrorism, illegal immigration, road safety and football hooliganism;
Economic and commercial issues: competitiveness, research and development, financial services, energy and environment.
The Millennium Development Goals: The Republic of Cyprus has today joined the Call to Action. The UK and the Republic of Cyprus strongly support the need for an EU action plan to be agreed at the June Council;
The Olympics: we will work together to identify areas for co-operation as the UK prepares for the 2012 London Olympics.

The Republic of Cyprus and the UK will establish closer dialogue in Brussels, London and Nicosia on EU issues where they have shared interests (e.g. to promote a more effective social dimension and co-operation on issues such as Justice and Home Affairs (JHA), taxation, budget reform, climate change).

As the Republic of Cyprus prepares for its EU Presidency in 2012, the UK will offer to share its experience, including through inward secondments.
The two countries will also hold a regular dialogue on EU/Turkey, where they share the objective of full membership once full conditions have been met. Both countries agree on the need for Turkey to fulfil its outstanding obligations towards all member states in accordance with the Negotiating Framework and the 21st September 2005 EU Declaration. The two countries will pursue dialogue by discussing issues relating to the negotiations at an early stage to clarify and resolve outstanding difficulties.

This programme of action will be delivered through six-monthly reviews at Ministerial level in Nicosia or London and regular discussions between High Commissions and Governments in capitals. It will also be delivered through contact between Representations in Brussels and New York. The UK and Cyprus will also aim to hold an annual Cyprus/UK Forum to address specific issues of mutual interest.
