Denktas: G. Cyprus uses EU against TRNC

Noting that Annan plan was not acceptable, Denktas said that "our 100,000 people will be forced to migrate and they will be migrants. If we saw that a permanent peace would be established with Annan plan, we would accept Annan plan. Greek Cypriots’ aim is to usurp our rights and they use EU as a means of that."

Denktas pointed out that foreign countries tried to intervene with the internal affairs of TRNC, adding that "by extending material and spiritual support to the opposition, they want to make the opposition win elections in TRNC so that the opposition can continue Cyprus talks."

Denktas pointed out that Greek Cypriots targeted Cyprus to make a Greek island, adding that "they could not do that by killing us and imposing embargo on us for 40 years. Now they use EU for their purpose. The world has to see the realities now. Turks will not give in to Greek Cypriots in Cyprus and will not permit Cyprus island to be Greek."

Denktas stated that one of the sides still regarded itself as the legitimate government of Cyprus, adding that "foreign countries’ treating both countries as equal will play a key role in Cyprus cause. We insist on that."

Denktas recalled that EU showed the Greek Cypriot side as the best candidate, adding that "it is not easy to understand EU’s embracing the Greek Cypriot administration. This candidate tore the constitution of the country in respect of politics and it did its best to eliminate Turkish Cypriots who had equal rights under international agreements and constitution."

Denktas pointed out that the resistance of Turkish Cypriots was right and that they wanted foreign countries to understand that, adding that "we want the injustice made on Turkish Cypriots to be seen. We want them to understand the fact that it is in vain to wait for compromise while those persons who took part in the killing of 16-day babies and old people are charged in the Greek Cypriot government. We want peace in Cyprus and compensation of the things done."
