Unyielding and immovable, Ersin Tatar continues his two-state promotion campaign unabated. He refuses to accept the realities, leaving the essence of the Cyprus problem to sink into the swamp of uncertainty.
This was clearly shown by his recent statement on the anniversary of the referendum on the Annan Plan. Propagandizing, Tatar argued in favour of distrusting the intentions of the Greek Cypriot side and the international community on our national issue.
By saying that the European Union had broken... its "commitment" not to join the Republic of Cyprus before the Cyprus settlement, the occupation leader tried to convince Turkish Cypriots that they were deceived. He did the same by talking about the isolation of the pseudo-state, about which he claims that "many games were played against the Turkish Cypriots."
And all this of course comes down to the "need for a new form of solution" which is none other than that of two states. So that the occupied territories do not become a "patch" on the Greek Cypriot island, as he often says. No mention of the historical realities in Cyprus. Not a word about the reasons that led to this point for both sides.
In essence, Ersin Tatar is trying to make Turkish Cypriots feel unjustified and insecure. To remind them that only Turkey is twice their size, so that they will of course accept what Ankara is promoting for its own interests! It takes effort, considering that in the occupied territories the voices of those who understand that Turkish Cypriots are not in danger from Greek Cypriots are growing stronger.
In reality, they risk to remain forever "prisoners" of Turkey. Dependent and isolated from the rest of the planet.
In reality, they risk to remain forever "prisoners" of Turkey. Dependent and isolated from the rest of the planet. Not because they chose it, but for the stubbornness, prestige and interests of a handful of politicians.
So, Mr Tatar, the Turkish Cypriots have indeed been deceived. They must feel wronged, but not by the Greek Cypriots or the European Union. By those who deprived them of peace and prosperity and still deprive them to this day. Those who speak the same language with them.
