Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Kudret \u00d6zersay issued a written statement and stated that the policy of the government for opening the closed Mara\u015f is continuing decisively.<\/p>\n
Minister \u00d6zersay pointed out that the Inventory Commission on the Closed Mara\u015f came together once again and evaluated the data obtained from previous fieldworks by the experts from the different institutions. \u00d6zersay also underlined that as a reply to Greek Cypriot initiatives to avoid Turkish Cypriot Goverenment\u2019s Mara\u015f policy via United Nations, they explained their policy to all interlocutors by a proactive diplomacy.<\/p>\n
\u00d6zersay stressed that the experts from the different institutions started to complete their reports on the latest situation of the antiquities, churches, movable properties, power lines and buildings in Mara\u015f and some points of these issues will be evaluated next week in the Council of Ministers.<\/p>\n
\u00d6zersay also stated that they had taken diplomatic initiatives against the initiatives of the Greek Cypriot side in the presence of the UN Security Council and they sent a letter to the United Nations in response to the Greek Cypriot side’s Mara\u015f letter.<\/p>\n
\u00d6zersay continued his statement as follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe sent a letter to the United Nations in response to the Greek Cypriot side\u2019s letter, and we mentioned about the steps we have taken and will take about Mara\u015f in many diplomatic meetings we held in New York in September. On the other hand, the ongoing lawsuit on this matter was concluded and a decision was announced. In fact, all these developments have confirmed the proper position of the government policy towards the opening of closed city Mara\u015f. Our following a policy that does not usurp the property rights of both the former inhabitants and the Vak\u0131f, and also putting an attitude based on human rights and maintaining this balance is the most important factor that will enable the implementation of Mara\u015f initiative\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
