President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 described the Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Anastasiades\u2019 attitude that he did not attend the dinner hosted by Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdo\u011fan at the World Humanitarian Summit in \u0130stanbul as a meaningless and unmeasured reaction.
\nEmphasizing that the Turkish Cypriot people are in favour of a solution, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said that the Turkish Cypriot people will not be confined to the buffer zone in Cyprus.
\nAk\u0131nc\u0131 returned to the island immediately after he attend the dinner given by Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdo\u011fan in honour of state and government leaders who attended the World Humanitarian Summit, and at which he met with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
\nSpeaking at a press conference following his arrival, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 made evaluations regarding his meeting with Ban Ki-moon, the dinner and Anastasiades\u2019 protest. President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said, \u201cIt is really meaningless not to tolerate our presence there. Instead of acting reactively with emotions, we should move forward in the right direction with logic and wisdom.\u201d
\nPointing out that he did not go to \u0130stanbul just for a dinner reception, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 emphasized that he also met with the UN Secretary General.
\nUpon a question regarding if the scheduled leaders\u2019 meeting will be held or not in the light of the recent developments, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said, \u201cThere is no reason that the meeting will not be held from our point of view. We will get ready for that meeting as usual and we will go to the meeting but if the meeting will not be held due to reasons beyond our control, I suppose that would be explained by the people who caused it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
