Regarding the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly to recognize Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital, Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu stated that the US needed to review and reverse its decision which drew strong condemnation and reaction from the international community.<\/p>\n
In an interview with the Anatolian News Agency, Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu reminded that Organisation for Islamic Cooperation had also strongly criticized the decision at a recent emergency summit hosted by Turkey.<\/p>\n
Mentioning that demanding to review and reverse the decision at the meeting, Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu said that the same Muslim countries which remained insensitive towards the struggle for freedom in Cyprus were displaying a similar stance on Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
Pointing out that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan had acted as torchbearer for the world\u2019s reaction to the decision, the TRNC Foreign Minister said that the fact that the resolution was adopted with an overwhelming majority was important and meaningful.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu added that the next step to be taken by the international community was to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is befitting of us is to make a stand against this injustice, to voice this view within the international community and to demand an end to this injustice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu also expressed his view that the Islamic World, in the event prospects for a partnership in Cyprus emerge in the future, should support the notion that this partnership should be between two states and not two communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the time that the international community should recognize that a partnership based on political equality is not attainable as long as one of the two communities is recognized as the representative of the state and the other as a minority. A new page should be turned in Cyprus\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
