The discussion of the MOE will be a lever for the negotiations of a federal solution and will benefit both communities, the PKK said in a statement, saying that the proposals submitted by T/C leader Ersin Tatar to the UN and President Anastasiades "are not MOE".
These proposals, he added, ignore the benefits, rights and interests of Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish Cypriot "people" will not accept separatist "proposals" and will not allow further separation from the world, it is noted.
In the PKK statement released yesterday afternoon, the T/C opposition criticizes Ersin Tatar not only because, without discussion with any political party, not even in the "parliament", he rejected President Anastasiades' MOUs, but also because now, without any consultation with anyone, proposed to the Greek side cooperation on 4 key issues, on the basis of sovereign equality and equal international status which "is also wrong and equivalent to living in a fantasy world".
"Tatar, who rejects the MoU and tries to make counter-proposals, does not know the seriousness of the position he holds as a result of the interventions. Instead of meeting with the UN and Nicos Anastasiades and sharing his proposals at the negotiating table, Tatar prefers to remain silent for days and does nothing but submit to the interventions and implement what is said. Ersin Tatar speaks with what he was made to say, without consulting anyone, and deaf to the voice of the Turkish Cypriot people. We categorically reject this attitude of Tatar, who was in the presidency as a result of the interventions."
The TC "people", the PTK continues, need policies that will soon make them take a deep breath and open up their future and believes that they should start negotiating the MoU at a time when purchasing power has turned to dust and youth unemployment is hitting a ceiling.
As it is, the PBC says, the MoUs are not acceptable and therefore must be negotiated immediately for the benefit and rights of the TCs. RTC believes that the illegal Tympou airport, Famagusta port, economic aid, direct trade and the Green Line Regulation, passage to the euro, energy, gas, citizenship rights (of the RoC) for children of mixed marriages should be discussed immediately, but negotiations for a federal solution should begin.
The PKK concludes the statement by stating that "the future of the TC people will not be a game in your hands!"
[/P]Similar is the news on the front page of the newspaper "Avroupa" today which under the headline "Ankara plays Tatar dances" writes that the T/C leader proposed Ankara's proposals to the E/C side as if they were of the T/C side and Turkey announced that it supports them.
Earlier yesterday, speaking on Turkish state television, Ersin Tatar said that his proposals are a "realistic approach."
According to T/C media reports, in statements on TRT news channel, the T/C leader spoke about his letter to the UN Secretary General, which he was asked to convey to President Anastasiades. "On the basis of the two-state solution, sovereign equality and equal international status, cooperation with the E/C side on hydrocarbons, electricity, renewable energy and water is envisaged," he summed up. Tatar saying that this would be to the benefit of the T/C "people", the E/C "people" and regional balances, he said.
He noted that the proposals put forward are fully supported by Turkey and referred to them in detail, as he had done on Friday.
These proposals are a requirement of his new policy and strengthen the two states, he added.
