The countries that plan to recognize it are receiving threats, T/C leader Ersin Tatar claimed.
Speaking at a conference on "Blue Homeland and Cyprus in the context of developments in the Eastern Mediterranean" organised at Ditsle University, Ersin Tatar said that "the unanimous acceptance of our application to the Organisation of Turkish States two weeks ago is an important milestone in our political struggle".
He went on to argue that even the members of the Organisation were threatened. "If you recognise the tdvk (they were told), you may find yourself out of trade, out of economic relations, out of a number of different issues. In fact, friendly countries are reluctant to recognise tdvk because of the threats they receive," he said, referring to the pseudo-state.
"We hope that with the support of Turkey and now the whole Turkish world, our sovereignty rights there will be consolidated and at the same time, the prosperity of the Turkish Cypriot people and their presence on the island will gradually increase and our position on the island and its wider geography, where we will consolidate our sovereign rights, will become even more solid. And maybe after some time this is the wish and desire of all of us thanks to the struggle for energy issues, natural gas and hydrocarbons, with the support of the Republic of Turkey in the Blue Homeland, to get a share of these riches and have a prosperous life," Ersin Tatar said.
