Prime Minister H\u00fcseyin \u00d6zg\u00fcrg\u00fcn stated that in spite of President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131\u2019s \u201cvery flexible” approach, negotiations remained inconclusive due to the \u201cwanting everything\u201d attitude of the Greek Cypriot side.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the programme in BRT, \u00d6zg\u00fcrg\u00fcn said: \u201cI hope once again that the Greek Cypriot side will come to their senses. As long as they fail to adopt a common sense approach, it is inevitable that Turkish Cypriot side will continue on its way\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00d6zg\u00fcrg\u00fcn also made clear his belief that the negative result of the two rounds of the Cyprus negotiations in Mont Pelerin was due to the attitudes of the Greek Cypriot side and Greece.<\/p>\n
Emphasizing that the Turkish Cypriot people would not accept living as a minority, and the fundamental importance of equality, bi-zonality and the continuation of guarantees, Prime Minister \u00d6zg\u00fcrg\u00fcn added that the case for an ongoing guarantee was as clear today as it was in both 1963 and 1974.<\/p>\n
Stating that the Turkish Cypriot side has never shied away from an agreement, an approach that has never been demonstrated by the Greek Cypriot side, Prime Minister \u00d6zg\u00fcrg\u00fcn noted that the Greek Cypriot side have acted in bad faith during many previous rounds of talks, which unfortunately seemed to be the case for this round as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
