As reported in the occupied territories, Mr.Metin Feizioglu, who yesterday gave his "credentials" to the T/C leader, today first visited the Kemal Atatürk monument in occupied Nicosia where he signed the visitors' book and wrote that Turkey supports the existence of a "tdvk" as referred to in the pseudo-state - which will be able to stand on its feet socially and economically and achieve the position it deserves on the international stage, "hand in hand with our Turkish Cypriot brothers, who are deeply committed to your principles and reforms", meaning Atatürk's principles.
"Keeping your concept of foreign policy with sincerity in mind, the Turkish Republic will continue to provide all kinds of support for the peace, happiness and prosperity of the Turkish Cypriot people, the sovereign and equal owner of the island".
Signing the corresponding book at the Fazil Kiouchiuk memorial afterwards, Feizyoglu wrote that "the Turkish Republic will continue unceasingly to support your just cause against those who try to ignore the existence of Turkish Cypriots and their enshrined rights and legitimate interests. I remember you and your fellow fighters with respect, gratitude and thankfulness."
Later inthe visitor's book at the monument to Rauf Denktash he wrote: "As a leader who has dedicated his life to the independence struggle of Turkish Cypriots, you made your name known beyond these lands with this just cause that left its mark on history. Aware of the sacrifices you made, the Turkish Cypriot people also protect your precious legacy, tdvk, which was founded as a result of difficult struggles, and work with all their might to make it brighter every day."
The Turkish Republic, he added, will continue its efforts to contribute to the peace, happiness and prosperity of Turkish Cypriots "with whom our beloved nation is deeply attached, and to ensure that tdvk earns the place it deserves on the international stage."
At his father's memorial grave were Serdar Denktash and his son Rauf, with whom the new Turkish "ambassador" had a brief conversation.
In statements afterwards, Metin Feizyoglu said it was an "indescribable source of pride" to be Turkey's "ambassador" to the occupied territories. There is no doubt, he added, that the pseudo-state is already an independent and sovereign "state" in accordance with international law and called it a "great injustice" that it has not been recognized to date by third countries.
Mr. Fezioğlu called it a great victory that the pseudo-state was accepted as an observer in the Organization of Turkish States under its "constitutional" name, which he said was done under the guidance of the Turkish President and the very skilful diplomacy of the Turkish Foreign Ministry. "Soon we will start to see the results on the island and around the world. We also set up teams in our embassy to work very closely with the tdvk authorities, especially on this issue, and we made our plans."
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commander of the General Command of the Gendarmerie of the Turkish Interior Ministry Ali Ciardakci is in the occupied territories, who visited the "Minister of Interior", Ziya Ozturkler, who said that with the 342 million TL sent by Turkey they managed to overcome the shortcomings of the new prison building, something in which they also had the support of the Turkish Ministry of Interior. It is important, he said, that they shared with them their experience in penitentiary institutions.
