Very interesting.
AKEL organized a conference on the theme "50 Years of Cyprus, Zero Time". Memet Ali Talat, a politician and former leader of the Turkish Cypriot community and CTP, was also invited to the conference.
In his intervention, Talat was particularly revealing in terms of Turkey's contemporary positions and in terms of our own responsibilities for the Cyprus non-resolution.
Turkey said it always wanted a two-state solution, but there were times it accepted to change attitude and support a federation solution. These periods were 2004 and 2017. Today Turkey does not support a federation solution.
He was particularly sultry for AKEL's stance when he led the Turkish-Cyprusians with their large majority supporting the solution case. In 2004, you said no to the solution, he said, while when he was persistently asking for the signing of a document with the convergence on which the two leaders agreed, in the presence of the UN General Assembly, Dimitris, Talat said, preferred to talk for 1 hour with Karojian than to resolve the Cyprus issue.
After the 28th minute Talat's intervention.
