We have not forgotten this treacherous attack, we will not forget it. It is our greatest duty to keep our martyrs alive and glorify them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stating that that this attack by Greek Cypriot soldiers is another proof that the Greek Cypriot administration has a criminal record, while showing once again that the Greek Cypriot mentality, which does not give the Turkish Cypriot people the right to life and sees the people as a minority, has not changed and will not change, President Tatar emphasised that their main goal is to put an end to this mentality and aggression, to protect the people, to secure the future of the people and the new generations, and to reach a fair and lasting agreement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pointing out that this can be achieved with the agreement based on the existence of two separate sovereign equal states, which was put on the negotiating table for the first time in Geneva, not with an unrealisable federal-based agreement, President Tatar made the following statements in his message. \u201cOur proposal for a solution proposal, which is also supported by Turkey, the most powerful and largest country in the region, is the most realistic solution and we will not take a step back from this proposal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aiming to abolish Turkey&#8217;s guarantee and drive Turkish soldiers away from Cyprus by saying &#8220;zero army, zero guarantees&#8221;, the Greek Cypriot administration should know that we will not give up the guarantorship of Turkey and the Turkish soldiers. Mujahid (Turkish Cypriot soldiers) and Mehmet\u00e7ik (Turkish soldiers) are our only assurance and guarantee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If we live under the roof of our own state as sovereign, free and fearless after the great resistance in this land that we know as our homeland today, we owe it to our martyrs, Mujahid, Mehmet\u00e7ik and Turkey, who is always by our side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"image_frame image_item no_link scale-with-grid alignnone no_border\" ><div class=\"image_wrapper \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"scale-with-grid\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" style=\"\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<br \/>\nPresident Ersin Tatar published a message on the anniversary of Allahverdi K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7&#8217;s martyrdom; \u201cMujahid and Mehmet\u00e7ik are our only assurance\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRNC President Ersin Tatar published a message on the anniversary of the 25th anniversary of the<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-142794","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\/142794","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=142794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142794\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pio.mfa.gov.ct.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
