The rapporteur of the report, he adds in his statement released last night, conveyed the Greek official positions one by one, ignoring the facts on the island and in the region.
All parties concerned, including the EU, must not forget that as long as the G/K side is sovereign, so is "tdvk" and this acquired right will not be abandoned under any condition or treaty, it says.
"The general, biased references in the report, which ignore the TCs, are a new revelation of the outdated vision of the EU institutions for our island at this stage," he argues.
The references in the report on the Cyprus problem, Tatar continues, are indicative that they ignore the process currently underway at the initiative of the UN Secretary General. He reiterates the T/C position that the settlement process can proceed within the framework of the vision of the sovereign equality of two states and the acceptance of equal international status.
He recalls that the UN Secretary General said that the sides should find common ground to start a formal negotiation process and we are at the stage of determining whether or not there is common ground. And there is a wait, he continued, whether the Secretary-General will appoint a new "personal representative", in place of Ms Lute, to work on whether or not there is common ground between the two sides. "A possible new process can only start with finding common ground on the basis of sovereign equality between the two sides and achieving balance," he added.
Natural gas
Ersin Tatar said the T/C side's proposal for the joint exploitation of natural gas of 13 July 2019 is still on the table, arguing that supporting the unilateral activities of the G/K side - as he said - which increase tension in the region, can pave the way to lift efforts to create a climate of trust on the island and cause problems in the region.
He also reiterated his support for the Turkish President's proposal for an "Eastern Mediterranean Conference", which would be "an opportunity to find cooperation with the participation of the Turkish and Greek sides on an equal footing, other countries and interested parties". As the T/C side, he says, it will continue together with Turkey to resolutely defend their rights.
Varosha
Referring to Varosha, Tatar reiterates the claim that it was opened under international law and the applications of the old owners will be evaluated through the "property committee". The number of applications for the area submitted by the E/C to the "committee" reached 459, he adds. It claims that while this is the situation, President Anastasiades is preventing the E/C from accessing their rights and is taking actions towards the international community and primarily the EU.
It also claims thati Varosha is the territory of the pseudo-state "and includes all kinds of authority and jurisdiction over this area, which is under our jurisdiction. Our initiative in Varosha will continue with determination."
Reaction "suprax"
We regret to see that it reflects an unfortunate understanding that denies the rights of the TC "people", the suprax said in a statement on the EP report on Turkey.
The reference to IHL, it added, shows that the EU is still overlooking the realities on the island. The Greek side, it continues, aims to tarnish Turkey's name and the pseudo-states in the EU. "We hope that the EP and the other EU institutions will stop being a tool of the ill-intentioned policies of the Greek side and Greece."
The TC "people", he continues, are hostage to an "embargo", while the E/C live in a comfort zone offered by the regime, whose main culprits are the EU and its institutions.
The EU, he adds, instead of attacking Turkey, should try to convince the Greek side to accept the two-state solution with sovereign equality and equal international status.
It also states that the EU has not kept any of its promises to lift the "embargoes" against the TCs and it is not acceptable to lecture Turkey, which is their sole supporter, politically, economically and financially.
The expansion of "bilateral relations" with Turkey - as the "suplex" says - concerns only the pseudo-state and Turkey and the EU and the "E/C administration" as it calls the Republic of Cyprus - have no right to express an opinion.
It also describes the reports on Varosha as unfounded and argues that once again the E/C side is fooling international public opinion on this issue. He repeats the claim that Varosha is the territory of the pseudo-state and it is responsible for the area.
