[B-2]The two-state solution position reiterated to Australian High Commissioner by Tatar Tens of thousands of Turkish Cypriots live in Australian cities such as Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, says Tatar[B-3]
[B-4]The position that the path to sustainable peace and stability on the island lies through formal negotiations based on sovereign equality and the equal international status of Turkish Cypriot co-owners was reiterated by Ersin Tatar during his meeting yesterday with Australian High Commissioner Sam Beever, who is leaving Cyprus. Mr Tatar said that an agreement on the basis of "two-state cooperation" could be fair and realistic.[B-5][B-6] According to the GMP, Mr. Tatar argued that the sovereign equality of Turkish Cypriots is a right stemming from the 1960 agreements that established the cooperative state, which the Greek Cypriots, in his words, usurped by force of arms in 1963 in order to unite with Greece.[B-7][B-8]"Only an agreement based on the cooperation of two states will be fair, realistic and viable." He reiterated the position that negotiations to reach an agreement on the basis of equality had failed because of Greek Cypriot refusal and that Turkish Cypriots live under an embargo on issues such as direct trade and direct flights.[B-9][B-10] He argued that both the 1960 agreements and the principles of the European Union were shelved by the accession of the "Greek Cypriot side", in his words, to the EU on behalf of all of Cyprus because Greece was threatening to veto the eastward enlargement of the Union. Tatar added that it was time to consider a "different perspective" on the Cyprus problem instead of calling for negotiations based on the same parameters that had been tried and failed so many times over half a century.[B-11][B-12]Australia could be more impartial in its approach to both sides, Tatar continued, saying that tens of thousands of Turkish Cypriots live in Australian cities such as Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.[B-13][B-14]Source: CNA[B-15][B-15]
