12 September, 2024President Tatar calls on UK Government to end injustice
12 September, 2024As part of his contacts in the United Kingdom (UK), President Ersin Tatar made the remarks during a Times Radio broadcast that was presented by Dominic O’Connell.
President Tatar said that a two State sustainable settlement where the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots coexist as good neighbours in a cooperative relationship is the way forward for the Island of Cyprus.
The President emphasised that “negotiations between the two Sides for a federal settlement have been exhausted,” and that “negotiations on this basis have all failed to produce a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus for more than half-a-century”.
“I represent a new vision for a settlement,” President Tatar said. “A two State settlement will provide a viable, realistic and sustainable settlement, which takes into consideration the facts on the ground in Cyprus.”
Underlining that “the human rights of People – probably around a million Turkish Cypriots in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), UK, Australia and Türkiye are being penalised with very unreasonable practices with these embargoes,” President Tatar concluded: “At the very least, these inhumane embargoes must be lifted.”
