The two-state-oriented policy is not a position subject to change, said "foreign minister" Tahsin Ertougrouroglou, referring to statements made by Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides in the newspaper "Ta Nea".
"Kasoulides should understand well that our two-state-oriented Cypriot policy, based on sovereign equality and equal international status, is not a stance that is subject to change. This is the policy and attitude that will shape the future of the island," he said.
Ertougrouglou spoke of "Greek unworthiness and arrogance."
He said it was "unacceptable" for Greek Cypriots "who consider themselves, the so-called Republic of Cyprus, to speak against Turkey and continue to ignore the Turkish Cypriots."
While there is Greece, he continued, which abused its guarantee and staged a coup on the island, accusing Turkey of abusing its right as guarantor.
He also argued that once again "the typical and usual Greek mentality appears, overstepping the boundaries and spoiling, such as imposing conditions on Turkey for the Israel-Turkey gas pipeline to pass through Cyprus."
