That is why a solution is not possible in Cyprus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Denkta\u015f stated that the US and EU can demand that a referendum be held. He continued: \u201cA referendum may be held after April. After April, elections will be held in South Cyprus. It seems that the process will be delayed. We, as Turkish Cypriots, have been living in uncertainty for more than a half century. Why? Because the negotiations are continuing. 50 years passed. The world does not have any right to make the Turkish Cypriots live in uncertainty anymore. It seems that a solution will not be reached. That is why the Turkish Cypriots\u2019 future should be made clear\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Denkta\u015f also pointed out that Turkish Cypriot people are following the negotiations with great sensitivity. He said that the most important areas being discussed in the negotiations are the Guarantees and the existence of the Turkish soldiers in the island. Without these, he said that the majority of the people will vote \u2018no\u2019 in any referendum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Serdar Denkta\u015f gave a speech at a panel<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-140467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-headlines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140467\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
