According to the Press and Information Office, the T/C press writes that in a written statement, Mr. Ertugruloglu said that the letter confirms once again that the Greek Cypriot side has no other goal than to obstruct the efforts of the pseudo-state and Turkey to ensure that "tdvk", in his words, takes its rightful position in the international community and ensures the continuation of the "inhuman isolation imposed on the TCs with its own encouragement".
Noting that the Cyprus problem is a matter of law for the Turkish side, he argued that with this understanding, the occupying regime and Turkey have defined a new policy in accordance with the realities on the island.
Noting that Mr. Kasoulides also stated that they would not accept an agreement that might be reached between the United Nations (UN) and the pseudo-state, Ertugrologlu said that "it has no value if our foreign policy and decisions concerning our country are accepted by the Greek Cypriots."
He added that the continuation of the presence and activities of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force (UNFICYP) in the region would be possible with the finalization of a legal arrangement that could be accepted between the two sides.
Regarding the presence of UN forces in the occupied territories[/B], he said that "the TRNC believes that UNFICYP cannot carry out its presence and activities in our country under the current arrangement based on our goodwill and that it is necessary to come to an agreement without wasting time."
They are irrevocably committed to this issue, he continued, saying that "we continue to act constructively towards a mutually acceptable agreement between the TRNC and the UN. It is important for the UN, unlike any other time, to adopt a constructive and fact-based approach."
Tahsin Ertugruloglu also said that if, despite their sincere and constructive attitude, the UN continues to adopt an approach that is detached from the reality on the island and, as a result, an agreement cannot be reached, "we will have no choice but to review all options and take the necessary measures."
