The former Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash has accused the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advisor on Cyprus Alexander Downer of being “biased” adding that “he is being used by the Greek Cypriot side”.
According to reports in the Turkish Cypriot press, Denktash noted that Downer is on the island in the framework of the UN “good offices mission” and that he is obliged to act equally towards the two sides.
In his statement, Denktash alleged that Downer, “acting like an EU spokesman”, threatens Turkey by saying that “if Turkey does not make any concession to Cyprus, it will not be able to enter the EU”.
He, inter alia, claimed that together with the “illegitimate membership” of Cyprus to EU, the good offices mission of the UN Secretary General on Cyprus has been impeded, adding that this is an “injustice”.
