Erhürman: “Political equality is our sine-qua-non”

“It does not matter if the federation has a strong centre or strong wings in Cyprus, political equality is our sine-qua-non “said Prime Minister Tufan Erhürman.

Erhürman stated that they want the Cyprus problem to be solved with a fair and permanent formula based on political equality because such a solution will contribute to the national economy and open the way for business people and the public.

Erhürman who went to the Mersin Province of Turkey as a guest of the Silifke Chamber of Commerce and Industry made a speech at the “Leadership Academy and Strategy Workshop”.

Erhürman indicated that nowadays there is a dynamism in the Cyprus issue, yet where are they going to reach is not known and he continued:

“Recently, Anastasiades’ new proposal is not a strong centred federation but a federation which has strong wings, in other words strong constituent states. Why? Because he cannot explain to his people about the issue of political equality. We say that political equality is essential whether there is a federation with a strong centre or strong wings in Cyprus. You should explain this to your people Mr. Anastasiades.”
