In an event he attended, President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 referred to the statements that he made regarding the 30th June Guterres Framework, and noted that a great deal of speculation had resulted from this. He added that he had not said “zero guarantees, zero troops” in none of his statements, and that the distortions on this issue were caused by misleading Greek Cypriot commentaries.<\/p>\n
Underlining that today there is no \u201czero guarantees, zero troops” mindset, and nor was there in Crans-Montana, President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 reiterated that excluding Turkey from future security arrangements on the island would not be accepted by the Turkish Cypriot side.<\/p>\n
Ak\u0131nc\u0131 stated that in order to shape the future without compromising any principles, all sides need to improve their ability to adapt to the requirements and the conditions of today. Ak\u0131nc\u0131 added that although he behaves in accordance with this principle, the Greek Cypriot side continues to dilute and distort his statements.<\/p>\n
President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 underlined that principles of the Turkish Cypriot side are; a structure which includes a rotating presidency and the effective participation of the Turkish Cypriots in decision-making, based on political equality and where one side cannot impose its will on the other and the Turkish Cypriots will feel secure.<\/p>\n
President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 noted that the date of framework he mentioned in his previous statement was 30\u00a0<\/sup>June and the report of the UN Secretary-General and Greek Cypriot side\u2019s letter also emphasized the date as \u201830 June\u2019. Therefore, there is no framework dated \u201c4 July\u201d, as the Greek Cypriot side has asserted, and this date can clearly be seen as the Greek Cypriot side\u2019s own interpretation.<\/p>\n Referring to statements made by the Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Anastasiades, during his reception of the newly appointed British High Commissioner, that \u201cTurkey must give up its provocations in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Turkish Cypriot side must give up its extreme demands and then we can consider the negotiations,\u201d Ak\u0131nc\u0131 responded, \u201cEquality, freedom, and security are not exaggerated demands, but fundamental requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n Regarding the natural resources surrounding the island, President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said, \u201cThe riches in the Eastern Mediterranean are common. It does not only belong to the Greek Cypriots.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In an event he attended, President Ak\u0131nc\u0131 referred to the statements that he made regarding the [\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-141273","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\/141273","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=141273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141273\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
