Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has promised structural changes and major projects to boost the north’s economy.

In a televised address on Saturday, Erdogan discussed the new Turkish constitution, the economy, terrorism and the Cyprus problem.

“We have very important projects for north Cyprus and they will change the face of the country. I would like to mention once again that Turkey will neither allow efforts targeting the TRNC nor will it negotiate with the EU or any other party on the Cyprus issue.”

He blamed the Greek Cypriots for the lack of progress in the talks, saying: “I made very sincere and fruitful contacts with the TRNC authorities during my visit and I think the Turkish Cypriot side is making sincere efforts at the negotiations to reach a bi-communal, bi-zonal federal solution in the context agreed before. This was proved at the Geneva summit once more but the Greek Cypriot side is not responding positively to the Turkish Cypriot side’s stance.”

Erdogan has made it clear he will not wait forever for a Cyprus solution, setting July 2012 when Cyprus takes over the EU Presidency as an informal deadline. He has promised economic development for the north, and set about implementing an unpopular austerity package to curb public spending in the north as well as privatisation of airlines and universities...............

while ago in north the authorities announced new measures to issue ‘green’ and ‘white’ cards for 40 thousand Turkish mainlanders living and working in the north without citizenship. It is believed this will further skewer the already tilting balance between Turkish nationals and Turkish Cypriots residing in the north...........
daily Kibris reports that the white card will be granted to people who have been living in the north for eight or twelve years with a work permit or fifteen years with or without a work permit. The green card will be granted to persons who settle in TRNC after they retire or people who make big investments of more than $500 thousand..............The chairman of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) said that the regulation is unconstitutional and that they will not remain spectators of this development but would contest it in court. Moreover the general secretary of the United Cyprus Party (BKP) stated that this decision will annihilate the Turkish Cypriots and was part of the integration policy which is followed by Turkey............

A stupid question please? At the time Turkey sent its troops 37 years!!!!ago - occupy what occupy - why Turkey is still in negotiation with G/cs about North?What they expect from negotiations? -Ertogan can sasy that will not wait forever for a solution. QUESTION-Why he is waiting 37 years? Ertogan is just selling air like the most of the politicians in this World.This is the ansewr.He can not explain to his people that the decistion to invate in Cyprus became a mess for Tuerky's policies the political and financial cost is extra ordinary and giving an one sided final solution will be a disaster for Turkey.No other explanation.
