Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu has said that it did not come as a surprise that the Greek Cypriot administration which had made it its goal to violate the rights and interests of the Turkish Cypriot people was disturbed by the anniversary of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

“The Greek Cypriot administration needs to come to terms with the fact that the existence and establishment of the TRNC will be celebrated forever,” he said in a written statement on Wednesday.

Condemning the latest statement by the Greek Cypriot administration issued on the anniversary of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu said that the Greek Cypriot side’s reaction had not come as a surprise, particularly in light of the fact that it had made its sole purpose to violate and infringe on the rights of the Turkish Cypriot people through embargoes and isolation policies.
