I will say "no" if Annan plan fails to satisfy us

LEFKOSA (AA) – President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) said his reply would be "no" in case final shape of Annan plan failed to include the changes which the Turkish side wanted.

Stating that the policy to make Cyprus a Greek island continued, Denktas said political rights and equality of the state and continuation of Turkey’s guarantee were the biggest defense for this.

Denktas said Greek Cypriot side and Greece continued efforts to claim to be the owner of Cyprus through the EU, noting that people would respond to this with their votes in the referendum.

Denktas said, "you will decide with your votes in the referendum. You have the responsibility. You shouldn’t be deceived."

Denktas said he would discuss the situation with the officials who would return to the Island after U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan gives the final shape to the plan. Denktas said the decision would be taken accordingly.
