The proposal of the Turkish side on gas is still on the table, said "foreign minister", Tahsin Ertourgouloulou, who said that President Anastasiades' response that "if Turkey recognizes the Republic of Cyprus and accepts the demarcation of the border between the two countries' exclusive economic zones, everything is on the table" is not something that can even be assessed.
According to the "Bayrak" website, speaking on a TV show, Mr. Ertugruloglu said that while the Greek Cypriot side sees only itself as the Republic of Cyprus and continues to characterize the Turkish Cypriots as a community of the Greek Cypriot state bearing the name of the Republic of Cyprus - as he said - it is not only on the issue of hydrocarbons in the eastern Mediterranean, but on every issue of state and power as long as the E/C continue their policy of 'know your limits, you are a community' towards the TCs, "it is clear that there will be no progress".
The T/C side continued, for a fair sharing of natural resources, it put proposals in 2011, 2012 and 2019 on the table, which "are still valid". According to his claim, President Anastasiades continues his policy of ignoring Turkish Cypriots and trying to force Turkey to recognize the "e/c state."
