Annan plan aims pulling out T. Cypriots from island

Denktas received Constitutional Court President Mustafa Bumin and stated that they have been working for justice for 50 years, he adde, "we thought order was restored and compromise was reached with 1960 agreements; however, Makarios, who had signed the agreement, gave orders to interior ministry at the same time for preparation of Greek Cypriots for war. 1960 Agreement was a partnership, and we could only accept this partnership if Greek Cypriots had given up Enosis (Union with Greece). And this agreement was a guarantee of it. Cyprus Republic did not have full independence. If it had full independence, it could have dissolved itself. As they had tried to do in 1963. For this reason, its right to dissolve itself and go to Enosis were taken from them."

Denktas said Makarios got prepared to take Cyprus with weapons, and attacked in 1963, and that Turkish Cypriots had suffered a lot for 11 years. Denktas said, "but we did not bow to injustice".

Denktas said Turkey and they worked with good will to save the partnership; but the foreign world told the Greek Cypriots "you are the legal government" and injustice started at that time. He said Greek Cypriots, who hid behind this title, had worked since 1963 to take whatever Turkish side have.
