Well, well, well, Donktosh Jnr must have upset a few people in the Turkish administration to provoke this remarkable admission from Turkey’s EU Minister and chief EU negotiator, Volkan Bozkir.
For those of you who are hard of hearing and have fluffy wool between the ears (Cousin Asthickastwoplankoandastruthfulaspinochio), the chap who took over from Bagis the Clown as Turkey's EU Minister (that's a pretty senior position) is putting the blame for past failures to reach a CY settlement on the thankfully late Rough Donktosh Snr.
This is what he is reported to have said...
"... Turkey’s EU Minister and chief EU negotiator Volkan Bozkir has blamed the late Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash for the failure to reach a Cyprus solution “for many years”, according to Turkish daily Sabah.
Bozkir was commenting on the resignation of Serdar Denkatsh from the post of ‘deputy prime minister’ of the breakaway Turkish Cypriot state in the north. “The father of Serdar Denktash, the late Rauf Denktash was the TRNC’s hero and a historical name. However, the late Denktash was the reason for the non-solution of the Cyprus problem. For many years and in several phases when the solution was very close, he took a stance against it,” said Bozkir.
“I can say that he [Serdar] is his father’s son. He had always shared the same views. So, I consider his resignation as timely, since it is taking place in a period when the Cyprus negotiations have resumed and in a period when an opportunity for a solution has arisen.” ..."
