Talat commented on the words of Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister Markulli as ‘we moved backwards always’ and said that the Greek Cypriot side has been acting like this all the time and thus they think that other people are stupid. Talat reminded that the Greek Cypriot side was saying that there were no developments even in the days when there were some developments.
Talat indicated that the Greek Cypriot side has put a strong willpower by electing Christofias however Christofias has become the slave of Papadopoulos in a very short time.
Talat said asked Christofias what kind of a solution he demanded by rejecting a calendar and mediator and said: “you didn’t solve with Talat, you didn’t solve with Eroglu, with whom are you going to solve?”
Talat said that if AKEL said yes to the Annan Plan there would not be a Cyprus problem today and reminded that DISI said yes.
Adding that the Greek Cypriots had no motivation for a solution after they became an EU member Talat said : “the solution has no meaning for them and even a solution has become concession for them”
