President Anastasiades' statement after the Ukrainian President's speech in the Cypriot Parliament, in which he expressed annoyance at Volodymyr Zelensky's failure to condemn the 1974 Turkish invasion, is "a product of a one-dimensional perspective, which is incompatible with the historical facts of the island and ignores the cause of the Cyprus problem," Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar claimed.
In a written statement, he said President Anastasiades' approach "to use the war between Russia and Ukraine for his own political purposes distorts the facts and contains errors."
It is obvious that such an approach will not serve regional and global stability, he added. Tatar "the 1974 peacekeeping operation", as he described the Turkish invasion, was conducted in the context of "international law and cannot be identified with what is happening in Ukraine today".
He also spoke of "an overreaction by the Greek side" to Victoria Nuland's reference to "President Tatar" and reiterated about sovereign equality and a two-state solution in Cyprus.
