Denktas: Erdogan has been deceived on Cyprus

“Greece wants Turkey to surrender,” said the TRNC president, who has come out publicly against the UN plan. “Is Turkey kowtowing to all of Greece’s wishes just to get into the European Union?” Arguing that that Ankara’s current stance was not Turkey’s official policy, Denktas said, “In my opinion, Erdogan has been deceived.” The president said that he had not yet signed a bill authorizing an April 24 referendum on the plan but that he would soon declare his stance on the matter, adding that postponing the referendum was not possible.
