LET’S KEEP ON WITH FRIENDLY ATTITUDE AND PRESENT A GOOD EXAMPLE TO GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE
“What lies behind Saturday’s attacks against Turkish Cypriots in the South is the Greek Cypriot Administration’s manner of conduct against foreigners” Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer has said.
Commenting on attacks carried out against Turkish Cypriots by supporters of the Greek Cypriot football team APOEL on Saturday, he said this development has caused indignation among the Turkish Cypriot People.
Pointing at the importance of the Greek Cypriot politicians’ condemnation over the attacks, Soyer said however that the Greek Cypriot administration evokes foreigner enmity by preventing foreign initiatives- no matter of which ideology they represent.
In this way, the Greek Cypriot administration is causing enmity among its own people against people with different linguistic and religious backgrounds, he explained.
In his statement at the beginning of yesterday’s meeting of the Council of Ministers, Soyer underlined the need for contributing to the creation of a language and psychology which are going to promote friendship and cooperation instead of enmity.
Prime Minister said the biggest wealth to be owned by Turkish Cypriots is to show the world that Turkish Cypriots no doubt deserve the enjoyment of European values and human rights principles at the highest level.
Mr Soyer called on Turkish Cypriots to work hard to protect the TRNC as the land which allows the freedom of walking around to all, no matter what linguistic, religious or racial background they belong to.
“Let’s keep on with our friendly attitude and present the Greek Cypriot side a good example” Soyer called out to his people.
