The T/C side will present a comprehensive proposal for specific areas of cooperation between the two sides in the coming days, which will be composed of elements that will protect the equality of the two sides, bring common benefit and cooperation, a statement by the "presidency" on Ersin Tatar's reply letter to President Anastasiades regarding the proposals of the G/C side on the MoU said.
It is also stated that the two sides will benefit from the cooperative relationship that will be established, which, it is noted, will contribute to the peace and stability that the region and the world need.
According to the statement, in his reply letter dated yesterday, June 20, the T/C leader wrote that President Anastasiades' so-called MOU proposals, as he described them, which are "non-existent" and "outdated, are part of the exhausted basis of the federation that serves the continuation of the status quo.
He also said that the MoUs had been constantly violated in the past and the only reason for their failure was the aim of the G/K side to extend its power to the pseudo-state, violating its sovereignty.
Mr. Tatar is reported to have written to President Anastasiades that if he is sincere about confidence-building, he should demand the removal of the isolationist policy that has been applied for decades to our people", saying that this policy is the main reason for the lack of trust between the two sides.
Regarding the negotiation process, Mr. Tatar openly stated that negotiations on the territory of the federation are over, the basis of the federation has been exhausted and in order to start a formal negotiation process, the sovereign equality and equal international status of the TCs must be confirmed.
The reason, he continued, that the Cyprus problem has remained unresolved for 59 years is the refusal to grant the enshrined rights of the TCs and today's reality, he said, requires that the TCs use these legal rights as the Cypriots do.
For a just and lasting reconciliation, the existing inequality between the two sides should be eliminated and for that our sovereign equality and equal international status should be reaffirmed, Tatar reiterated.
