"Saying Cyprus blocks Turkey’s EU bid is dissimulation"

Visiting Zonguldak, Denktas stated that so far the TRNC made many sacrifices but Greek Cyprus did none of them.

He went on to say, "We wanted to see Greek prime minister as a serious and statesman to to strengthen Turkish-Greek friendship, but they try to do things that they couldn’t do by weapons. So we don’t have trust towards him. It is just a dissimulation to show Cyprus as an obstacle in front of Turkey’s European Union membership. If Turkey and Greece can reach an agreement the Cyprus issue can be resolved. "
