The impact of the illegal visit of the Turkish Foreign Minister to the occupied territories continues. Representatives of the Turkish Cypriot opposition are reacting in high tones to the statements and messages sent by Mevlut Cavusoglu. As expected, the 'government' is quick to provide cover for the Turkish diplomat.
As reported by the Press and Information Office (PIO), "Avrupa" writes that the "deputy" of the Republican Turkish Party (RTK), Doyush Durga said that no foreign Foreign Minister has the right to disregard the decisions of the RTK, which is a shield of protection, in her words, to the workers' struggles, the struggle for peace and freedom and the protection of the rights of Turkish Cypriots.
According to Dergia, Cavusoglu does not have the right "to slander and attack an MP" who was sent to parliament with the votes of the people.
Expressing the view that by spreading a culture of fear and restricting trade union activities, an effort is being made to destroy anything that could be a hope for Turkish Cypriots to stand on their feet, Ms. Dergia added that "what is against the interest of the community is politicians adding some proposals to the protocols to do what they want, ignoring the Turkish Cypriots and acting as sheriffs of the (Turkish) colony in Cyprus".
The reactions of the Turkish Cypriot opposition
According to Avroupa, another PKK "MP" Devrim Barchin said that "Turkish Cypriots do not need Ankara's money and employees to stand on their feet."
"Definitely, relations with Turkey cannot proceed in this way. If we say we have our own 'constitution', we will stand on our own feet, Turkey will know that this country has parliamentarians. I don't want your money or your employees," he said.
On the same issue, according to Halkin Sisi, the United Cyprus Party (KEK) issued a written statement and criticized the attitude and policy set by the Turkish Foreign Minister during his illegal visit to the occupied territories.
In the statement, the KEK said Cavusoglu displayed a dichotomous attitude, demanding two separate sovereign states and rejecting all past agreements reached on the Cyprus problem. The T/C Left Party also adds that the rejection of the MoU tabled by President Nicos Anastasiades is a "continuation of the policy that holds Turkish Cypriots hostage."
The claims of the "government"
For its part, referring to the visit of Mr. Çavuşoğlu's visit, "Interior Minister" Ziya Oztürkler claimed that they do not accept any imposition from anyone on the issue of "granting Tdvk citizenships in an illegal manner."
As "Halkin Cesi" writes, Mr. Oztürkler implied that Mr. Çavuşoğlu's words on this issue were paraphrased.
