West Support Opposition Parties in Cyprus

Interview with President Rauf Denktas by Hosni Mahali, “Oman Daily Arabic”

Denktas: First of all, let me explain the reason behind the Greek Cypriots’ refusal of the plan. They disapproved it as it acknowledges several of our rights. In fact it does not grant any rights to us. Plan recognizes Greeks as the legal representative of the Republic of Cyprus, while it is ignoring the rights of the Turkish Cypriots although it mentions their rights in an independent entity.
