Those who speak against Turkey cannot be treated in a democratic way, said Renaissance Party chairman and "transport minister" Erhan Arikli, commenting on the opposition's demand that the list of TCs to whom Turkey bans entry be made public and the reason why.
According to T/C reports, Mr. Arikli was speaking in a broadcast of Genç TV channel and commented on the entry ban on 4 TCs so far. So far, he said, democracy prevails in the pseudo-state. "Those who do joint actions, hold meetings with people in southern Cyprus with whom they agree, hold demonstrations and speak and act against the Turkish Republic, should know that it is not possible to meet democratic behaviour."
According to Mr. Arikli, Turkey said to them if you don't want me, you call me and my army invaders, you do joint actions with the Y/C, you hold gatherings against me, I too have the right at least not to accept you in my country.
He added that he had been unjustly and unjustifiably expelled from Russia and had then gone to the Turkish Foreign Ministry himself on the issue, where he was told that it was the sovereign right of the Russian Federation to decide for itself who to accept and who not to accept on its territory.
"Therefore, these friends should ask themselves what they have done in the past. Some people see this issue as an opportunity."
He also said that some 3,500 Turkish citizens were expelled from the pseudo-state without any justification. While here deportations are taking place and families are being broken up, he added, "you will not talk and then you will shout," meaning that this fact is being hushed up.
Turkey, Erhan Arikli continued, will or will not make public the reasons for the deportations and it has this sovereign right. He questioned whether someone who accuses, criticizes Britain can go there "even waving."
It should be noted that PKK President Toufan Erhiurman spoke on the issue in parliament yesterday. Since last summer until today, the head of Mustafa Akinci's communications office, Ali Bizden, doctor and columnist, Ahmet Jiavit An, journalist columnist, Ali Kishmir and doctor activist, Okan Dagli, have been deported from Turkey, where they each travelled for different reasons.
