The Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatarcontinues to put up in the UN process to resume talks to resolve the Cyprus problem. Responded negatively to the proposal submitted by the Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides For their joint meeting with the UN Secretary -General envoyMaria Achela Olgin, saying that the Cypriot president is an unreliable interlocutor. The proposal was forwarded to Ersin Tatar by Ms herself Olgin.
The Turkish Cypriot leader has been outraged by arrests made in the free areas for usurpation of Greek Cypriot property in the occupied territories. Foreign nationals active in the real estate sector in pseudo -state They are under investigation and those found are arrested. These arrests have frozen the building activity in the occupied territories, as foreigners who were thinking of buying real estate knows that they can deal with the law.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, which lasted just over an hour, and reading from a written text, the Turkish Cypriot leader said that his decision was not taken as an emotional reaction, but with an approach that prioritizes priority “In the security and rights of our people. As long as the Greek Cypriot leader continues to attack us, he will receive a similar answer. I will never give a basis to threats and blackmail ยป.
Tatar said he clearly expressed his warnings on this issue, not only today, but also at the expanded informal meeting in Geneva last March to the President of the Republic of Cyprus. Nikos Christodoulides in Nicosia on April 2 and 5 May and to the Special Representative of the UN Secretary -General, Colin Stewartthe same day. He reiterated her, he added, last Monday and at her meeting with Mrs Olgin.
Has, he continued, great respect for the UN Secretary -General, Antonio Guterres. “I appreciate his interest in the Cyprus issue and his constructive approach to cooperation between the two sides. I would also like to thank his personal envoy, Maria Achela Olgin, for the approach she showed during her contacts. However, it is clear that Mr. Christodoulides, who targets our people using the property as a tool of pressure through the judiciary, cannot be considered a credible interlocutor unless changed his approach. This policy of the Greek Cypriot leader, which increases the tension, does not serve the dialogue, but a dead end. “
In Ersin Tatar, “This attitude (of the Greek side) towards the legal rights of the Turkish Cypriot people has nothing to do with law. People who invest or carry out real estate transactions within the TRNC borders (pseudo -state) are presented as committed crimes for political reasons and thus seek to create an atmosphere of fear. “
It is a ‘dangerous approach“, Which targets not only the rights of individuals but also the confidence between ”two peoples“And the possibility of future reconciliation, he argued. As this attitude goes on, it is not possible to talk about a healthy dialogue environment, he added. “Therefore, demonstration of respect for such a mentality means both the normalization of these activities and the burden of the new atmosphere expressed by the UN Secretary -General,” he said.
“The period of tolerance of this hostile policy”as Mr Tatar said, “Aimed at the freedom, prosperity and peace of the Turkish Cypriots is over.”
The Turkish Cypriot leader said that while what is happening in the last time is happening, it is not possible to be in a photo of a tripartite meeting with him Nikos Christodoulides.
At the meeting with Ms. Olginshe said, she saw her sincerity and this satisfies him. He shared, he added, with her his concerns and concerns, which he again asked to transfer to the UN Secretary -General.
For the sale of Greek Cypriot assets in the occupied territories, he argued that the ownership titles of the pseudo -state were valid and referred to ‘Real Estate Committee’ created on the basis of a decision of the ECHR, which has so far granted compensation of more than 600 ml sterlin.
