Turkish Cyprus rejects remarks of ‘window of opportunity’ on issue
Turkish Cypriot Foreign Ministry has dismissed Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides’ remarks suggesting that a “window of opportunity” exists for resolving the Cyprus issue, describing the comments as detached from reality.
“Statements by the leader of the Greek Cypriot Administration, Mr. Christodoulides, claiming that there is supposedly a ‘window of opportunity’ on the island are far removed from reality and constitute nothing more than an empty perception campaign aimed at misleading the international community,” the ministry said in a written statement on May 29.
The Greek Cypriot side continues to adhere to its archaic mentality, which refuses to regard the Turkish Cypriot people as equal partners and instead claims exclusive ownership of the island, the statement read.
The statement emphasized that a resolution in Cyprus can only be achieved through the recognition of the sovereign equality and equal international status of Turkish Cyprus.
