13 May, 2019Speaking to TRT regarding the tension which has arisen on the issue of energy in the Eastern Mediterranean, President Mustafa Akıncı said that Turkey is a great power in its current geography and added that the Greek Cypriot Administration seems to wish for a solution but does not take any steps to reach a solution in Cyprus.
Furthermore, Akıncı stressed “I see that they insist on the same mistake. We cannot get anywhere with punishment expressions towards Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots. We have to take the necessary steps. The Greek Cypriot side wants to turn the Eastern Mediterranean into a field of cooperation. They refuse what they approved previously and they do not want the Turkish Cypriots to have any rights regarding decisions on the issue of energy, even after a solution”.
