In order for there to be a basis for discussing the proposals that the TC leader intends to submit, Ersin Tatar, they should be in line with the UN Security Council resolutions on Cyprus, international law and the principles and values of the EU, Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos told CNA.
Asked to comment on the content of the letter of Mr Tatar to the President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades, dated June 20, which was published today by the newspaper Phileleftheros, Mr Pelecanos said. Pelecanos said that essentially Turkey and the occupation regime continue both their provocations and their intransigent stance. This is in complete contradiction to our fair attitude and effort to bring the Cyprus problem back on the path of resolution, presenting proposals that will bring mutual benefit to both sides and help create the right climate that will allow us to return to the negotiating table, Mr. Pelecanos told CNA. He added that once again the unacceptable claim of the other side for recognition of equal sovereign rights to the illegal regime is repeated. Something that certainly serves their goal of leading to a two-state solution and something that under no circumstances will we accept, he said.
We will await the proposals that, as Mr. Tatar intends to submit, making it clear that for there to be a basis for discussion, they must be in line with the UN Security Council resolutions on Cyprus, international law and what EU principles and values require of us, the Spokesman concluded.
