Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar criticized the Greek Cypriot community, who in a statement linked developments in the Cyprus problem to the Kurdish issue. He also said that if there is an agreement in Cyprus, it should be based on sovereign equality and the continuation of Turkey's guarantees.
According to the Press and Information Office (PIO), the illegal "Bayrak" reports that while speaking live on a CNN Türk broadcast, Mr. Tatar referred, among other things, to a news item in the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet which referred to a Greek Cypriot journalist whose name is related to the case of Abdullah Ocalan and who - according to the article - participated in a National Guard exercise.
Mr. Tatar said that "the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is a bloody terrorist organization."
Mr. Tatar said that "the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is a bloody terrorist organization. We condemn all kinds of terrorism against the Republic of Turkey." "On the Greek Cypriot side, a branch of the PKK [S.S. THE TC LEADER IS REFERRING TO THE OPENING OF AN OFFICE OF THE "KURDISH SOLIDARITY LEAGUE" IN THE FREE AREAS OF THE REPUBLIC] operated on the Greek Cypriot side. It is a big scandal and shameful that the Greek Cypriot side supports terrorism," he added.
Tatar also criticized Greece, highlighting the claims of the Turkish side in the Greek-Turkish relations. He also claimed that "we have the right to sovereignty in Cyprus. We will continue to wage this struggle together with the motherland Turkey," he said.
"There are two equal peoples in Cyprus."
"There are two equal peoples in Cyprus. One of the two founding partners of the Republic of Cyprus is the Turkish Cypriot people. Our state is based on the law. It is not against international law. Our goal is to further strengthen our state with our new policy and the opening of Varosha. If there is an agreement in Cyprus, it should be based on sovereign equality and the continued guarantee of the Republic of Turkey," Tatar further claimed.
