According to the GMP, Kipris Post writes that the TC leader said that this report by the US Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs "shows that it is obvious now that in international centers and in some parts of diplomacy the reality of the TC is becoming more accepted, it is receiving more space and if there will be an agreement in Cyprus it could definitely be on this equation. So we have shown once again how apt it is that we conduct our policy through Turkey. Our policy is correct. The struggle that has been going on for years has started to bear fruit."
Even if this is not a recognition, it is a reality that cannot be underestimated, he added. "We explained how much value Turkey's guarantees have for us so that we can live in this country and how necessary it is for the Turkish army to stay on the island to continue peace," he said, recalling Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's reference two months ago to the pseudo-state as "tdvk".
"So we see how appropriate and correct our new policy is," he argued, adding that things are changing in the Eastern Mediterranean and the policy of the TC side on this issue is very important.
He added that they argued [IN NULAND] that the MoU should be promoted in a way that does not affect the authority of the two sides. "On the issue of electricity, there should be a connection with the EU through Turkey. A cable connection will give us very important opportunities. Our interconnection through Turkey should be done with the approval of the EU. This is the biggest plan for the future of the island. It means relief for the sectors both for the MEAs and economically," he said."
Referring to the war in Ukraine, Tatar said it showed how meaningful and valuable his policy was. "As we all saw, the Ukrainians were left alone. Neither the EU nor the US was on the side of the Ukrainians. They are trying to bend Russia with some actions and embargoes, but what had to be done was done."
Erhiurman's reaction
In a post on the MSM, PKK President Tufan Erhiurman wrote that he did not know whether to laugh or cry so much at Ms. Nuland and with Mr Tatar's "optimistic" comment.
Initially, the T/C opposition leader said that Victoria Nuland referred to "President" Tatar and then said she was wrong and that "we call him Mr Tatar". Mr Erheurman added that Mr Tatar also interpreted this as an indication that "the truth of the tdvk is becoming more acceptable" and that "the struggle that has been going on for years has started to bear fruit". "We are in a situation where we don't know whether to laugh or cry at Mr Tatar's 'optimistic' comment and on the other hand at Ms Nuland's," he added."
