FOREIGN MINISTER AVCI:
“GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE’S INHUMAN SIDE WAS SEEN ONCE MORE”
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Foreign Affairs Turgay Avcý responded to Greek Cypriot
Foreign Minister Erato Kozaku Markulli’s criticisms over
the visit of the President of the Islamic Chamber of
Commerce and Industry Sheikh Saleh Bin Abdullah to the
TRNC.
According to the statement issued by
the TRNC Deputy Prime Ministry and Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister Markulli strongly
reacted to the visit by Sheikh Bin Abdullah and his
delegation, who came to Ercan Airport
with a direct flight on a private plane from Dubai.
The statement pointed out that Markulli
already started to carry out initiatives by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as well as many other
institutions and associations.
Noting that Hristofyas and other
president candidates participated to Marculli’s clamors,
Foreign Minister Avcý stated that it was once again proved
that Hristofyas and other president candidates, who
pretend as if they were in favor of peace, are not
different from Papadopoulos.
Stating that it is inevitable for
Marculli and the Greek Cypriot administration to be
defeated by the struggle being waged by the TRNC
government for creating alternative political and
economical living sectors, Foreign Minister Avcý said
everyone is fed up with the Greek Cypriot offensiveness.
Avcý said: “It is no longer possible to
remain mere spectators to the fact that the unfulfilled
promises of the EU to the TRNC are the result of the Greek
Cypriot Administration’s pressure.”
Continuing Foreign Minister Avcý said:
“In every step we take, we face with
distorted Greek Cypriot mentality and its representative
Markulli who do not want the Turkish Cypriot people to
breath. However, it’s inevitable for Markullli and the
Greek Cypriot administration which she represents, to fall
flat. World’s public opinion is fed up with the Greek
Cypriot offensiveness. We will keep going on our way with
determination and eagerness”.
