According to the Press and Information Office, in his statements on the Cyprus problem, Hashipoglu said that it is now necessary to challenge the UN Security Council resolutions.
On the Cyprus issue, he said that the negotiations for a federation have now come to an end and that sovereignty is an acquired right of the Turkish Cypriots and they claim it.
The Turkish Cypriot side, he continued, has proposed a new foreign policy for Cyprus and based on the positions on which Ersin Tatar was "elected", the federation negotiations, which have been going on for about 40 years, "are no longer on the negotiating table."
"We have not invented anything new. We are claiming an existing right of ours. We demand that this right, which has not been demanded in the past, be registered and if the negotiating table is to be restored, we demand the resumption of negotiations with the acceptance of this," he said.
There is, he continued, no common vision in the context of the negotiations at the moment and the position of the Turkish Cypriot side is no longer to negotiate a federation and this has also been recorded.
"What we are demanding is sovereignty. We are as sovereign as the Greek Cypriot people are sovereign on this island. Our sovereignty is not less. Therefore, there cannot be a more natural, logical and timely demand than this demand," he claimed. If we want to solve the Cyprus problem, we need to equalize the regimes, Hashipoglu said.
He accused the Greek Cypriot side of being the one that does not want a federation solution because it does not have a sharing-based mentality and said that the proposal to set up a committee to share the wealth around the island was made by Dervis Eroglu in 2011.
Oguzhan Hasipoglu also said that there is no concept of "Cypriotism", there is no nation called Cypriot."On this island there is the Turkish people of Cyprus. We have to make this separation, that is why we do not accept this accusation against Mr Tatar at all" he concluded.
