Akıncı : “Greek Cypriot Leadership’s staggering is the most serious impediment in front of a solution”

President Mustafa Akıncı recorded that the Greek Cypriot Leadership’s staggering and stepping back from what they accepted previously and denying the basic parameters of political equality are the most serious impediments in front of a solution.

“There is a problem in Cyprus which has not been solved for many years and the search for a solution will continue because the status quo reserves dangers. The status quo is the main factor which keeps the Turkish Cypriots out of the international law and results in our youngsters living in uncertainty for the future. Turkish Cypriot existence and identity are being eroded as the years pass and they face the risk of not being the subject in their own country. On the other hand the ‘Republic of Cyprus’, from which they have been excluded, is in the ownership of only the Greek Cypriot community and unjustly benefiting from being included in the UN and the EU with its internationally recognised identity. This situation cannot continue forever.”
