President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 stated that the choice of the Turkish Cypriot people regarding security should be respected.<\/p>\n
All sides should show the necessary goodwill, determination and mutual understanding to reach a solution in Cyprus, Ak\u0131nc\u0131 stated.<\/p>\n
The President stressed that it is important to be realistic and reasonable in order to reach a conclusion in the solution process:<\/p>\n
\u201cI always underline two important points and I reiterate them to my counterparts so that they can act according to these principles. The first one is being realistic. It is essential to be realistic in all areas, especially in terms of security and guarantees.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the zero troops and zero guarantees discourse is repeated consistently, it will be blocked after a while. The Greek Cypriot side also needs to understand how the concerns of the Turkish Cypriot side can be met because the Turkish Cypriot side and Turkey are considering the concerns of\u00a0the Greek Cypriot side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe important thing here is that the Turkish Cypriot people\u2019s choice regarding security is respected.\u00a0 Adapting the 1960\u2019s system to 2017 is possible but aiming to completely abolish is not realistic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second point is being reasonable in demands. We expect this from our counterparts. The map which was\u00a0presented to us is not a map that can be accepted by the Turkish Cypriots.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 also stated that the Cyprus talks are continuing in Mont P\u00e8lerin and that they may soon continue at the Leaders\u2019 or at the executive level with the prime ministers and heads of state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
