Ms\u00a0<\/span>\u00c7imen<\/span>\u00a0told the gathering that for Turkish Cypriot people, 15 November 1983 is a crucial milestone in their march to freedom. She said the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established on the basis of the right to self-determination, and \u201cToday we have a fully-fledged democratic state where the rule of law prevails, all institutions are intact and the Parliament represents the will of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cApart from being a country for education with its internationally approved 15 universities and more than 90,000 students from all over the world, with its historical and natural attractions, Northern Cyprus is an attractive tourism destination,\u201d Ms\u00a0<\/span>\u00c7imen<\/span>\u00a0said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The North Cyprus Representative Office had been active in Hungary since 2014. \u201cWe are grateful to the Hungarian government to host us here in this beautiful city of Budapest. We hope that our already existing friendly relations will be furthered in the fields of common interest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms\u00a0<\/span>\u00c7imen<\/span>\u00a0said she wanted to touch upon the efforts at finding a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus. \u201cAt the Conference on Cyprus in Crans Montana (in Switzerland in June this year) held with the participation of the guarantor states of Cyprus, despite the sincere efforts of the Turkish Cypriots and Turkey, the Greek Cypriots did not show the political will to resolve the Cyprus conflict on the basis of a bi-communal bi-zonal federation with political equality and a new partnership,\u201d she asserted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, 50-year-long negotiations to resolve the Cyprus conflict through a comprehensive settlement under the current United Nations parameters once again ended without any result.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"#\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

\u201cThe failure of the negotiating process demonstrates that the Greek Cypriot side is not ready to enter into any partnership on the basis of power-sharing with the Turkish Cypriot side and puts into question whether a settlement based on the current parameters is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGeography naturally compels the two people of Cyprus, namely the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots, to be good neighbours and to live side by side on the island. Now it is high time that we direct our efforts to finding new, realistic ways to promote mutual respect and peaceful coexistence as good neighbours. This is both or hope and responsibility to future generations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
