The Republic of Türkiye is our guarantor country. Everyone knows how important the presence of the Turkish Armed Forces here is for peace, tranquility and trust.

President Tatar stated the following:

“The Turkish Cypriot people are not alone. If they think they can force us to a solution we do not want through pressure and different actions, they are wrong. Now the Greek side needs to review its policy. “With the cooperation of the two states, important issues such as the water and wired electricity interconnection project, irregular migration, and exploration of natural resources can be developed for the benefit of the two peoples with a potential “win-win” policy.”

Referring to the informal dinner held in New York, President Tatar noted that they reiterated that the Turkish Cypriot side would no longer approach a solution on a federal basis, and that the lack of common ground was officially recorded in the UN statement after the dinner.

“This history is the biggest lesson given to those who tried to destroy the Turkish Cypriot people on the island,” said Yılmaz, adding that the TRNC has made very important progress in the 41 years since its establishment, and that every success and progress made is a source of pride for the Republic of Turkey.

Stating that they will continue to work together to make the TRNC go further from where it is today, Yılmaz noted that they will continue to work to strengthen the cooperation and to implement many projects that will serve the welfare of the Turkish Cypriot people within the scope of the 2024 Financial and Economic Cooperation Agreement. .

Yılmaz continued as follows:

“We strongly support the two-state solution vision you put forward for the Cyprus issue. A fair, permanent and sustainable solution in Cyprus will only be possible on the basis of the realities on the island. For this, first of all, the sovereign equality and equal international status of the Turkish Cypriot people must be registered. As our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again stated at the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations, the international community should recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and diplomatic, political and economic relations should be developed with your country. Turkish Cypriots have been able to maintain their existence despite the pressure, terror and intimidation actions carried out by the Greek Cypriot side in order to purify the island from Turks for decades, and have never compromised on their fight for freedom even for a single day. “Motherland Turkey, within the framework of its historical and contractual responsibilities, will stand by the Turkish Cypriot people in their just cause, as it has done so far.”

Recalling that President Tatar met with Greek leader Hristodulidis and the UN Secretary General on October 15, Yılmaz said that in the statement made by the UN Spokesperson after the informal three-party dinner, it was officially recorded for the first time that there was no common ground between the leaders, and that this was an important achievement. “As Türkiye, we strongly support this vision,” said Yılmaz, adding that they believe the federation book is closed.

Stating that President Tatar decided to meet with the Greek Leader on the island at an informal dinner to discuss the issue of opening new crossing points, Yılmaz said, “We are waiting for the opinion of our military authorities on this issue. We think it is important that this meeting remains solely on this issue. It was agreed that the two parties, the homelands, the UN, and the United Kingdom, with a low level of participation, will meet again informally in a format with expanded participation in the coming period. Naturally, the Turkish side will not discuss federal solution proposals at this meeting. This meeting will also not be the beginning of a negotiation process. “There will only be an opportunity to exchange views on what can be done for the future,” he said.

Stating that they were very pleased that President Tatar was invited as the guest of honor to the Bishkek summit of the Organization of Turkish States held last week, Yılmaz stated that increasing contacts and developing relations with the Turkish states through the organization will be an important force in announcing the rightful cause of the Turkish Cypriots to the world. Stating that they will continue to support the TRNC for its participation in the meetings of the Organization of Turkic States from now on, Yılmaz expressed that they hope that the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States will act more freely in inviting the TRNC to the events they will organize in the coming period.

“We want a strong and determined administration in TRNC. “We are pleased that you are directing the government in this direction,” said Yılmaz, adding that they are working with determination and determination to end the legal and inhumane isolation imposed on the Turkish Cypriot people.

Congratulating the Turkish Cypriot people on their holiday, Yılmaz thanked President Tatar for the hospitality shown.
