He stressed that on one hand, the Greek Cypriot side is admitting the TRNC\u2019s ownership of the resources but on the other hand they dismiss the will of the Turkish Cypriots.<br \/>\nThe Minister said that Turkey and the TRNC will act cooperatively and would not allow Greek Cypriots to use natural resources in the Eastern Mediterranean on a unilateral basis.<br \/>\nHe added that the Turkish Cypriots have encounters the unwillingness to share the wealth of the island since 2004. He reiterated the UN\u2019s statement, saying that the Greek Cypriot side should demonstrate that they are ready to share the administration and the natural wealth of the island.<br \/>\n\u201cThe natural gas issue is an important test for us. The Turkish Cypriot side has chosen to engage in diplomacy but to reduce, rather than escalate the tension\u201d said the Minister.<br \/>\nReferring to the Cyprus issue, \u00d6zersay said, \u201cWe want to show an approach that is results-orientated rather than the same negotiations\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Kudret \u00d6zersay spoke to an AA reporter today<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-141182","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\/141182","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=141182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141182\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
