Ersin Tatar[/B] reiterated that "the reality of two separate states must be recognized now in order to continue the peace that has existed on the island since 1974 is what everyone wants".
According to the GMP, the T/C press reports that responding to questions from reporters in Diyarbakir, where he is visiting, the T/C leader referred to the recent lifting of the arms embargo by the US on the Republic of Cyprus, saying: "They should not expect that the motherland Turkey and we will remain spectators to further armaments on such a small island. Such steps will lead to undesirable events. I hope that we will not reach such a situation. This will not benefit anyone."
Referring to the strength and operational capability of the Turkish armed forces, Tatar claimed that F16s can be close to them in 5 minutes and Turkish soldiers in 10 minutes.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Mr. Tatar said that the pseudo-state must live forever, otherwise the "desirable solution model" in Cyprus would not be achieved, and claimed that "the eternal survival of a Turkish state in the Eastern Mediterranean is the key and the security of stability."
As part of his visit to Diyarbakir, the TC leader inaugurated a park named after him and expressed his thanks, noting that the close contact between the occupied territories and Diyarbakir in recent years has increased even more with the launch of direct flights.
Referring to developments such as President Erdogan's call for international recognition of the pseudo-state and the subsequent granting of observer status to it in the Organization of Turkic States, Tatar said these happened thanks to the consolidation of their policy, the defense of "tdvk", as well as Turkey's will and weight on the international stage.
