Turkish Prime Minister Yıldırım: “A solution which takes the rights of our Cypriot brothers backwards cannot be accepted”

AK Party Leader and Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım stated that a solution which takes the rights of their Turkish Cypriot brothers backwards and which undermines their rights of fair representation cannot be accepted.

Speaking at an AK Party meeting, Yıldırım added that Turkey would accept a solution that includes a rotating presidency, but stressed that the full and effective guarantee of Turkey need to continue on the island, so that Cyprus does not relive its past experiences.

Yıldırım also addressed the 33rd anniversary of the TRNC’s founding, and reiterated that Turkey will always be at the side of the TRNC and continue to support its political, economic, and social development.
