The Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Tu\u011frul T\u00fcrke\u015f has said that Turkey will continue to show goodwill towards the Cyprus negotiations.<\/p>\n
T\u00fcrke\u015f stated that \u201cWe want to have good results from this settlement in terms of Cyprus being a bi-zonal, bi-communal federal state and this federal state is a member of the European Union. Turkey supports the negotiators in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking at the conference titled \u2018Our National Cause \u2013 Cyprus\u2019 held at the Centre for Economic and Social Researches (ESAM), T\u00fcrke\u015f stated that there are many different aspects which are important to the Cyprus issue.<\/p>\n
T\u00fcrke\u015f also said that he was both a citizen of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey, and that Cyprus was not only a national cause in Turkey but also a matter to be considered separately, and a cause that is close to his heart as his ancestral home.<\/p>\n
T\u00fcrke\u015f highlighted that Cyprus is widely regarded as being vitally important in terms of Turkey\u2019s Eastern Mediterranean policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cyprus problem is a very complicated issue. The parties which have an interest in Cyprus are not only the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot sides, Greece and Turkey. There are many other parties which have interests in Cyprus\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Cyprus problem should only be solved by considering the interests of only the two sides, T\u00fcrke\u015f stated. \u201cThe Greek Cypriot side consider the Turkish Cypriots as a minority. We, as Turkey, will do whatever is necessary regarding finding a solution to the issue of Security and Guarantees in the Cyprus talks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth sides in Cyprus are trying to reach a settlement on 5 chapters. They are negotiating these chapters. We maintain our goodwill towards reaching a settlement based on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federal state in Cyprus. As you know, the Cyprus problem has been as an obstacle for Turkey\u2019s EU membership and that is why we wish to have a positive outcome to the negotiations in Cyprus\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
