3 July, 2017Akıncı: “I hope our determination is not unreciprocated”
3 July, 2017During his inaugural speech at the Güzelyurt Orange Festival, Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün said that Turkish Cypriots will never give up on Turkey’s full and effective guarantee on the island.
Discussing the ongoing Cyprus talks and the Greek Cypriot leader Anastasiades’ statement saying that a solution will not be possible until Güzelyurt is returned, the Prime Minister said that the Greek Cypriot leader should never talk about Güzelyurt again and that many investments have been made there. “Güzelyurt has been part of the Turkish territory since 1974, and it will continue to be Turkish territory” Özgürgün added.
Underlining the fact that on the second day of the conference in Crans-Montana, it was shown that the Greek and Greek Cypriots’ real intentions were to deprive the Turkish Cypriot people from motherland Turkey’s guarantees, and that their stances never show the will to find a solution, Prime Minister Özgürgün said, “We will never give up on motherland Turkey’s full and effective guarantee on the island”.
