According to the Press and Information Office, Mr. Tatar, commenting on the recent developments in the Cyprus problem and the statements of the Greek Cypriot side, claimed that his leadership's effort is to find a just, permanent and viable agreement on the island and achieve calm in the region and the Eastern Mediterranean and called on the Greek Cypriot side to end initiatives that cause tension and respond positively to calls for dialogue.
Claiming that the Greek Cypriot side is continuing armaments and unilateral actions that increase tension in the Eastern Mediterranean, Tatar claimed that "the negotiations that began in 1968 with the aim of finding a solution on the basis of a federation in the Cyprus problem and continued for many years, collapsed due to the negative attitude of the Greek Cypriot side. Especially the referendum on the Annan Plan and what happened in Crans-Montana showed once again that a form of solution on the basis of federation could not be feasible."
Mr. Tatar reiterated his well-known position on the "two-state solution" and referring to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's statements the day before yesterday, he recalled that the Turkish minister said that his country would continue to protect the rights and interests of the Turkish Cypriot side.
Meanwhile, Vatan writes that on Thursday 7 April 2022 at 10.45 in the morning, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar will meet in his office in the occupied territories with US Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland.
The newspaper also reports. Tatar is also expected to meet with UN Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs Miroslav Jenka,[/B] who arrives on the island on April 11.
