Thus, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 warned that \u2018If the Commissioner is only going to pay such a courtesy visit to the north then he shouldn\u2019t bother coming at all\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 noted that Dombrovski will be meeting with the leader of the Greek Cypriot Administration Nikos Anastasiades, the Greek Cypriot Parliamentary Speaker and some ministers during his 2-3 day visit in Cyprus and will then hold a press conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said: \u201cWe are serious and would like the people in front of us to be serious as well.\u201d He went on to say that if an official has a mandate to help the Turkish Cypriot side prepare for the EU, he needs to hold contacts and meetings in the north so that he has a full picture. \u201cThey need to come here, listen to us and learn the sensitivities of the Turkish Cypriot people, this is what they have been tasked to do. An approach such as this is unacceptable\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Akinci said that he had been visited by many EU officials, including EC President Jean-Claude Juncker and his offices were baffled as to why Dombrovskis\u2019 visit would be so short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 has reacted harshly to the request made by the Vice President of the<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
