12 September, 2024President Tatar in New York
23 September, 2024President Ersin Tatar participated in a live television programme on GB News hosted by Martin Daubney on Monday evening.
President Tatar stated that he is asking the Government of the United Kingdom (UK), one of the guarantor powers which has responsibilities and obligations to both Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots, to review its policy on Cyprus and the “unequal treatment of the Turkish Cypriot People.
Speaking at the programme, the President said: “My vision is for a two State solution in Cyprus. Let us cooperate on energy, water, natural resources and many other areas that will be a win-win for both Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots.”
The President added: “The unjust embargoes and isolation, including the lack of direct flights, direct trade and direct contact, are continuing to be imposed on the Turkish Cypriots, because the Greek Cypriots are today using their position in the EU to push Turkish Cypriots with the embargoes, so as to impose a solution on us. We will never accept an imposed solution.”
