The Third President of the TRNC Dervi\u015f Ero\u011flu has criticized President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 for submitting maps at the negotiating table before solving other aspects of the negotiations that are important for the Turkish Cypriot people.<\/p>\n
Arguing that Ak\u0131nc\u0131 made a mistake by submitting maps, Ero\u011flu said: \u201cThe Greek Cypriot side is extremely satisfied that for the first time we have submitted a map that shows some of the locations that we are willing to give.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his statement to the Milliyet newspaper, Ero\u011flu stated: “I cannot say that I am hopeful for a solution. Mr. Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said there would be a ‘solution by the end of 2015’. We saw that it did not happen. Then he said that there would be a ‘solution by the end of 2016’, but again it did not happen. One of his statement was open, ‘if there is not a settlement, then we continue on our path as the TRNC.\u2019 In my opinion, if this does not happen, they should say ‘this is the end’, and they should not continue to look for a new process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ero\u011flu said that the Greek Cypriot side is trying to remove bi-zonality from any proposed agreement, and that starting to negotiate from 29.2% of territory was not right.<\/p>\n
Ero\u011flu said that there will not be any conclusion\u00a0due to the attitudes of both Greek and Greek Cypriots, and that “Now, what we will do after this process should be discussed with all our people and with Turkey. There must be a way out\u201d.Ero\u011flu also underlined that the aim of the Greek Cypriot side is to stall for time so they can start the hydrocarbon excavations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
