TALAT SAID THE GREEK CYPRIOT ADMINISTRATION VIOLATED 23 MAY AGREEMENT AND UN RESOLUTIONS

TRNC President Mehmet Ali Talat has underlined the need for the United Nations to stand against the Greek Cypriot Side’s attempts to change standing UN-parameters on the Cyprus issue.

Speaking just minutes after his arrival to the TRNC from the United States this morning, Talat said “during my discussions, we drew attention to the struggle launched by the Greek Cypriot Side to change the UN Parameters and underlined the need for the UN to stop this”.

Mr Talat warned that the trust in the United Nations would weaken and the solution of the Cyprus problem would become more difficult if the UN keeps silent about the Greek Cypriot Side’s attempts.

Referring to the statement issued by the Greek Cypriot Leader Dimitris Christofias at the UN General Assembly, Talat said `he didn’t only accuse Turkey of being an occupation force in Cyprus but also said that the Republic of Cyprus would turn into federation through evolution and will consist of two autonomous regions`.

`This is an approach ignoring the UN parameters and the 23 May agreement which refers to issues such as two founding states, political equality and Turkish and Greek Cypriot founding states`.

`We explained this while we were in New York` he said, stressing that it was out of question for the Turkish Side to accept this.

He stated that he had urged the UN Chief to stand against Greek Cypriot attempts towards changing the resolutions adopted by the United Nations and the UN Security Council.

`The Greek Cypriot Leader did not only violate the 23 May Agreement but tried to distort it` the President said, adding that Christofias changed his position after the last meeting of the Greek Cypriot Nation Council just to satisfy the opposition within the Council.

Accusing the Greek Cypriot Leader of taking backward steps whenever he faced criticism, he said `courage is needed to succeed in brining a solution… We are facing similar criticisms but we are not taking backward steps`.

The President also said that he had invited the UN Chief to Cyprus and expressed the hope that the visit would be realized in spite of the fact that Mr Ban did not have such plans.

Asked to comment on a recent statement made by the Greek Cypriot Leader on Maraş(Varosa), he repeated that the issue could only be solved as part of a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem.

President Talat reconfirms what I have been saying;

`This is an approach ignoring the UN parameters and the 23 May agreement which refers to issues such as two founding states, political equality and Turkish and Greek Cypriot founding states`.

Do you now really think that anybody at the UN takes this clown or his statements serious?

CTP-BG SAID THE UN SHOULD UNDERTAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS

The Republican Turkish Party - United Forces has described the meeting between UN secretary General Ban Ki Moon and TRNC President Mehmet Ali Talat as very important.

In a written statement, the CTP-BG Foreign Relations Secretary Erkut Şahali stressed that it is an absolute necessity for the United Nations to undertake a more active mission to narrow the gap between the positions of the two sides in the second round of the talks.

He also expressed the need for the two sides in Cyprus, guarantor powers and the European Union to make further efforts with a constructive attitude towards bringing an urgent solution to the Cyprus problem.

He said that the two leaders in Cyprus have the responsibility to work
within the framework drawn up by the UN documents, 23 May and 1 July agreements and to put an agreement to be reached by the end of the year to a simultaneous referendum.

He expressed the belief that no other option than a bi-communal bi-zonal federation to be formed on the basis of political equality would bring peace and prosperity to the island.
Noting that there was a unique opportunity to settle the Cyprus problem, Mr Şahali said that the CTP-BG would act with responsibility and contribute to the negotiation process.

yes turkey needs to allow a solution by leaving the island
