TRNC Minister of Foreign Affairs Tahsin Ertu\u011fluo\u011flu made assessments to the Turkish News Agency Cyprus (TAK) on current developments.<\/p>\n
Minister Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu strongly criticised Irfan Siddiq, the British High Commissioner to Southern Cyprus.<\/p>\n
Stating that\u00a0Siddiq had made it a habit to put forward views on the Cyprus issue that are out of line, Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu noted that Siddiq had once again attempted to distort the facts on the Cyprus issue.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu also evaluated the first visit of\u00a0the UN Secretary-General\u2019s Personal Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar,\u00a0to the island.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu noted that in the light of the new vision put forward by the Turkish Cypriot side in order to overcome the deadlock in the Cyprus issue, the Turkish Cypriot side would convey to the Personal Envoy that it supports cooperation between the two States in a spirit of good neighbourly relations on the island.<\/p>\n
The Minister added, it would be explained to Mrs.Holguin that it would not possible to return to the negotiation process on the basis of the ‘federation’ formula following the collapse of the process in Crans-Montana in 2017.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu reiterated his criticism of the latest UN Security Council resolution on the extension of the mandate of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force on the island for one year.<\/p>\n
He also emphasised that the Turkish Cypriot side did not approve the fact that the UN Security Council had taken the set resolution without seeking the consent of the Turkish Cypriot side.<\/p>\n
Ertu\u011frulo\u011flu added that, by ignoring the existence of two sovereign equal States on the island, the Security Council become the protector of the status quo, which constitutes the essence of the Cyprus issue.<\/p>\n
