Foreign Ministry Criticises Erhürman Over Greek Cypriot Agreement
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an assessment of the statement made following the trilateral meeting held in the buffer zone, saying that claims that agreements had been reached with the Greek Cypriot leadership on certain issues without consulting the government constituted a serious institutional problem.
In its statement, the Ministry stressed that the reality of two separate states and two separate peoples on the island must be recognised in the Cyprus issue. It said that no meeting or contact could lay the groundwork for a lasting agreement unless sovereign equality and equal international status were guaranteed.
The statement said it was inappropriate to announce publicly that agreements had been reached on issues involving the opening of new crossing points, the expansion of the remit of technical committees and political commitments without first obtaining the government's views.
It also emphasised that the government must act within the framework of the powers and responsibilities required by the parliamentary democratic system.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Turkish Cypriot people would not relinquish their sovereign rights or accept being reduced to minority status, adding that it remained open to constructive dialogue based on the two-state policy.
