The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Serdar Denktas speaking on a television programme stated that in order to identify what could be done about the property cases that are being filed by the Greek Cypriots a legal study was started 3 weeks ago. Explaining that the Greek Cypriot side would encounter big problems in their legal struggle, Serdar Denktas said; "Today the Greek Cypriot government is issuing arrest warrants for Turkish Cypriots living in Greek Cypriot houses but, it does not realize that sooner or later it will have to arrest Greek Cypriots living in Turkish Cypriot houses. They sometimes forget that they are in the EU. Although they've become EU members they haven't become European".

Reiterating his warning for Turkish Cypriots not to accept the courts summons sent to them by the Greek Cypriot side, he said it seems that more cases would be filed by the Greek Cypriots, especially targeting investors and businessmen.

Explaining that there were no new developments on the Cyprus issue and that there was no reason for the Greek Cypriot leader Tassos Papadopoulos to change his current policy, Serdar Denktas said Papadopoulos had no intention of sharing anything with the Turkish Cypriots under no conditions.

Indicating that the sending of a Greek Cypriot representative to meet with the UN Secretary General in New York did not change anything, Minister Denktas reminding that the UN Secretary General had requested from the Greek Cypriot side it's reservations, complaints and requests on the Annan Plan, said the Turkish Cypriot side was in the process of preparing its reservations and complaints on the Annan Plan that it would submit to the Secretary General.
