Turkish Cypriots will not surrender their will to anyone, says Burak Mavis, general secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Guild (KTÖS) in a written statement on the European Parliament's 2021 report on Turkey, arguing that "people were crushed under the price increases and their existence was challenged by the protocols."
According to the GMP, the Turkish Cypriot press reported that in his statement Mavis also said that articles 44/45 in the report "confirm the international status of Turkish Cypriots and call on Turkey to give the necessary will to the Turkish Cypriots, one of the legitimate communities on the island."
Noting that "the report expressed concern about the exercise of fundamental rights and the rule of law in Turkey," Mavis added that "there is serious concern about the economic protocol" that Turkey signed with the occupied territories.
