Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who made an illegal visit to the occupied territories, verbally attacked a high-ranking member of the Turkish Cypriot opposition. Cavusoglu accused representatives of the T/C opposition on the pretext that "they are members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)."
As is known, Turkey describes the PKK as a "terrorist organization." The relevant accusation-verbal attack by the Turkish Foreign Minister took place in the context of Cavusoglu's meeting with members of the "parliament".
As reported by opposition T/C media, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who visited the "parliament", addressed the "deputies" belonging to the Republican Turkish Party (RTK) and claimed that "there are members of the PKK among you. Go ask the 'embassy' and they will show you the photos on file."
According to the Turkish Cypriot media, the deputy speaker of the "parliament" and "MP" of the PKK, Fazilet Ozdenefe, pointed out to the Turkish Foreign Minister that the PKK has a different view on the Confidence Building Measures and the solution, which should be taken into account. Mr. Cavusoglu responded to Ms. Ozdenefe by stating that "when my President came to this Parliament, you did not come to the Parliament and you ignored him. Now we are ignoring you."
Along with the other nuances of the Turkish Cypriot Left, the PKK supports the prospect of a bi-communal, bi-zonal federal solution. The TC opposition party, which also opposes the steps taken by Ankara and its partners in the occupied territories on democracy and freedoms, last July boycotted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's speech to the "parliament".
