Akıncı : “Our demands as the Turkish Cypriot side are compatible with the UN Parameters”
24 September, 2019Erdoğan: “A solution model without the guarantee of Turkey is evil minded”
25 September, 2019Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu came face to face in New York with the Greek Cypriot Administration Foreign Minister Nikos Hristodoulidis, who brought up the subject of a federation in Cyprus.
Çavuşoğlu responded : “Your leader rejected this. We must first decide what we will negotiate. What will we negotiate, two governments, or something else?”
Upon this response Hristodoulidis explained the following: “It is clear on what we will negotiate. There is only one solution, a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation. Forget two governments or a confederation”.
Çavuşoğlu replied : “Last time, at Crans-Montana, your leader put forth the confederation. Last year Anastasiades said, at times “federation” and at other times a “confederation”. We must first openly discuss what we will negotiate. We have always been the side for years which tried to find a solution, both with the Annan Plan and at Crans-Montana”.
