Presidential spokesman Osman Ertuğ called on Greek Cypriot Spokesman Nikos Hristodulides to respect to the identity, political structure, equal sovereignity right and very special national ties and historical relations with Turkey.

Indicating that Hristodulides’ statements conflict with realities and goodwill, Ertuğ said that Greek Cypriot side is trying to put the responsibility of their escaping from the negotiation table to the other sides. Furthermore, Ertuğ said that statements of Greek Cypriot authorities are not sincere and their efforts to give harm to Turkish Cypriots’ relations with Turkey is useless.
