It is not possible to leave their "people" at the mercy of "terrorist organizations", said Ersin Tatar commenting on the anniversary of the start of the armed action of the EOKA struggle on 1 April 1955.
According to the GMP, the T/C press writes that a written statement by the "presidency" states that the struggle had begun to make Cyprus a Greek island and claims that the mentality of the Greek Cypriot leadership has not yet changed. "We see that they are running behind dreams that cannot be realized."
During the period 1955-58, he claimed, EOKA carried out attacks on Turkish areas in cities and Turkish villages, killing Turkish Cypriots.
Claiming that TMT was established to protect Turkish Cypriots from these attacks, Tatar said that after this resistance, the Turkish Cypriot "people" became an equal founding partner of the Republic of Cyprus, which the Greek Cypriot leadership considered a "springboard for unification".
Referring again to President Anastasiades' statements on the anniversary of EOKA and the Greek Revolution, Tatar said that the President of the Republic stated that "we are inspired by the struggle of EOKA", while slogans such as "Cyprus is Greek" and "Turks out" were heard during the celebrations, which shows that the Greek Cypriot mentality has not changed, according to him.
"While our appeals to the Greek Cypriot side on the Cyprus issue continue, with all our goodwill and sincerity, it is unacceptable that the Greek Cypriot leadership is still running behind the dreams of the terrorist organisation EOKA, which cannot be realised, and making statements that create tension and hostility," he added.
Referring again to the events in Ukraine, he reiterated the position that these show how necessary and vital the presence of the Turkish army in Cyprus and the Turkish guarantees are and added that they will never abandon the Turkish army and the Turkish guarantees.
"The Pseudo-state will take observer status in the Organization of Turkish States"
The Pseudo-state will take observer status in the Organization of Turkish States, said Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar. For his part, Honorary Chairman of the Organization of Turkic States and former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said "first Allah will soon see tdvk among the Turkish states."
Speaking at an event in Prusa, Binali Yildirim said that with every passing day the Organization of Turkic States is growing. "We will stay united, we will protect our solidarity like our eyes. But we are united if we are big, if we are standing nobody can do anything to us."
In his own speech Ersin Tatar said that "the whole Turkish world knows what happened in Cyprus, that the Turkish Cypriot people have suffered injustice and inhuman attacks for years, but still they founded their state with the support of Turkey."
He argued that "cooperation is very important for the strengthening and development of tdvk and the protection of the rights and interests of Turkey and the t/q people in the eastern Mediterranean," adding that the pseudo-state "will experience the happiness it deserves, the status of an observer state in the Organization of Turkish States."
