27 June, 2016In a unified Cyprus, there would be two “Constituent States”
27 June, 2016The National Unity Party (UBP) Member of Parliament for Lefkoşa Ersin Tatar stated that “The attacks on Turkish Cypriot citizens in South Cyprus and the attitude of the Greek Cypriot side cannot be ignored in the negotiations.”
Tatar also said: “The Greek Cypriot authorities have not done enough in order to stop the attacks or punish the culprits. The Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Anastasiades announced that the presence of the ELAM party in the Greek Cypriot parliament is normal.”
Pointing out that the increase in racist assaults against Turkish Cypriots, particularly the youth is unacceptable, Tatar said that the attackers must be caught and tried. It is the responsibility of the Greek Cypriot Administration to ensure that such attacks stop happening.
In his written statement, Tatar indicated that a substantial part of the Greek Cypriot population does not want a solution based on equal sovereignty and the continuation of Turkey’s full and effective guarantee.
