Reaction from Turkish Grand National Assembly to the decision of EU
19 July, 2019President Akıncı: ‘Any attitude which ignores Turkish Cypriot people is null and void’
19 July, 2019Speaker of the TRNC Assembly Teberrüken Uluçay stressed that natural gas and economic values around the Island of Cyprus must be evaluated as a compromise, not as a conflict.
During a reception, Uluçay made statements regarding the agenda. Pointing out that although many years have passed, the rights of the Turkish Cypriot people have been observed again, he said that the Turkish Cypriots wish to reach an international position which they deserve as much as the Greek Cypriots. Adding that many efforts have been made for years to reach a solution in Cyprus, Uluçay expressed that we will continue to work for reaching a solution together with Turkey with the same determination.
In his speech, Uluçay made a call to the Greek Cypriot Administration and added “Let’s evaluate the natural gas and economic values around the Island of Cyprus as a means of compromise, not as a conflict, and create this value with cooperation not just for the Island but also for the countries in the region. We are ready to evaluate the economic values in a way to serve world peace and prosperity”.
