TRNC President: Weston went too far

President Rauf Denktas said that Weston had erred when he said that Denktas was an obstacle for peace and reunification on the island.
“Mr Weston went too far and he shows us as a target to our people saying that we impede finding a solution on the island,” the President said. “On the contrary the decision which the Greek Cypriot National Council took in 1989 impedes the solution of Cyprus issue. Everybody should read that decision once again, and make Mr Weston read it, too. Everybody should also ask how compromise can be reached when the Greek Cypriot leadership is bound by that decision. The second question is does Mr. Weston regard one nation in Cyprus or two nations, one state or two states, one democracy or two democracies? We must know that first.”
Speaking prior to his departure for Ankara, Denkta? said that he would not be meeting with Weston during his visit to Northern Cyprus, with Presidential Undersecretary Ergün Olgün being given the task of briefing the US Spcial Co-ordinator.
