Speaking about the Cyprus issue and the ongoing negotiation process, Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu warned that the Greek Cypriot side is not making efforts to establish an equal partnership with the Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus, rather to tie the Turkish Cypriot people to lengthy negotiations and enforce heavy embargoes on them.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu also pointed out that the Greek Cypriot Administration has recently prevented children who came to the island via South Cyprus from attending the Children\u2019s Festival celebrations to be held in the TRNC on 23rd<\/sup> April.<\/p>\n Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu also attended the opening of the \u201cExpo Turkey by Qatar\u201d fair in Doha.
