Turkish Cypriot negotiator, Osman Ertug, has said that the development was something that the Turkish Cypriot side wanted as the Greek Cypriot side had demanded to meet with Ankara.

“We insisted on the negotiations being held on the basis of equality. After this, such an arrangement came up. It is an important development”,

Noting that the timing and the format of the mutual visits of the representatives to Athens and Ankara has not been decided yet, Ertug said that this is a decision in principle, “but the logic points out that the meetings will be held simultaneously”. He added, though, that it would not be correct to enter into details from now and “create a climate as if these are preconditions”.

Ertug said that the Turkish Cypriot side has been demanding that the two leaders should meet in New York and argued that it would be a “good opportunity” for the negotiations to begin at the leaders’ level, as both leaders are in New York. “This process could resume under the Secretary-General’s supervision”, he noted.

Ertug said that Eroglu would meet with the Turkish President Abdullah Gul and on Saturday with the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.

Commenting on the proposals submitted by Anastasiades to Ban Ki-moon, especially on the issue of Varosha, Ertug said that the views of the Turkish Cypriot side have not changed and argued that no proposal was submitted to them on this issue.

“In principle, Varosha is a part of the comprehensive solution and if a comprehensive solution is reached, this problem will also be solved”, he added.

Ertug expressed also the view that the EU could contribute in the negotiations at a consultative level and the agreement to be reached should be adapted to the EU legislation.

According to Ankara Anatolia news agency, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said after a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York that Turkey’s desire for a resolution of the Cyprus issue is certain and clear, an approach that is shared by the Turkish Cypriots as well. He added that if the Greek Cypriots responded positively, progress would be made towards a resolution.

This is the second Turkish joke of the century. The first was that Turkey was invited to join the EU in 1978 and "said NO" :lol: :lol:
