29 July, 2016Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün stated that the Government was taking serious measures against the FETO at sea and airports in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Prime Minister Özgürgün answered questions from TRT News following his visit to Ankara. The Prime Minister said that the TRNC included the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) on its list of terrorist groups after the coup attempt in Turkey on 15 July. The decision has been approved by the Council of Ministers.
Prime Minister Özgürgün added: “We will not make the slightest concession with regards to the FETO. We will continue our investigations in close cooperation with Turkey’s intelligence service.”
Discussing the ongoing negotiation process in Cyprus, the Prime Minister said: “The Greek Cypriots are responsible for the fact that this issue has not been solved for 48 years. They did not accept Turkey’s offer to help fight the large fire in Trodos. A solution can only be possible with the goodwill of both sides. We continue to hope for the negotiations to succeed.”
