23 June, 2017UNSG Guterres hails Cyprus Conference ‘opportunity’
28 June, 2017Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün has stated that the Turkish Cypriot people is always ready for an agreement which ensures Motherland Turkey’s full and effective guarantee, and which preserves its unilateral right to intervention.
Speaking at an event, Prime Minister Özgürgün mentioned the Cyprus negotiation process. Stating that the government closely follows every stage of the process, Özgürgün pointed out that the five-party conference was interrupted six months ago because the Greek Cypriot side and Greece requested a break.
Pointing out that negotiations will continue in Crans Montana on the 28th of June, Özgürgün said that the Turkish Cypriot people has always been ready for an agreement which ensures their equal rights as well as Motherland Turkey’s full and effective guarantee and which preserves Turkey’s unilateral right to intervene. Özgürgün also said that the reason behind the failure to reach an agreement so far has been the uncompromising attitudes of the Greek Cypriot side and Greece.
