Eide: “Current situation should not be exaggerated or underestimated”
27 May, 2016Akıncı: “Abandonment of the negotiation table is absolutely unacceptable”
27 May, 2016Speaking at an event President Akıncı stated that the negotiation process is a process with ups and downs, and said that he hopes this crisis period will be temporary.
Akıncı said, “Turkish Cypriots deserved to take part in the Summit. Although the Turkish Cypriots are one of the equal partners of the Cyprus Republic, they have been excluded for 53 years and could not obtain the position they deserve in the Summit.”
Stating that it is not right for only one community leader to represent the whole island in the Summit, Akıncı said not only the UN member countries and states were represented at the Summit, there were also other participators apart from the UN. Akıncı also added “Even if it is not recognized, the TRNC should also participate in the Summit but this situation is always ignored”.
