Statement By Presıdentıal Spokesman Hasan Ercakıca On 15 Aprıl 2008 |
|
Wednesday, 16 April 2008 |
|
As the works to prepare the negotiation process which the two leaders will participate with full capacity so as to reach a comprehensive settlement for the Cyprus problem are being carried out, the Greek Cypriot leadership is trying to nominate Turkey, in a way that does not coincide with the historical facts, as the one who is responsible for the stalemate.
This effort, the new Greek Cypriot leader Mr. Demetris Christofias also supports is futile. The fact that this effort will be proven futile and it is the Greek Cypriot side who has to prove to the whole world that they really intend for a settlement, has been established yesterday by President Mr.Mehmet Ali Talat himself in the most remarkable way possible.

A Reason Is Needed For Not Sayıng No |
|
Monday, 17 March 2008 |
A serious fear started in Southern Cyprus while the enthusiastic celebrations for independence are still to end in Kosovo. The Greek Cypriot media is worried of Kosovo’s being an example for Northern Cyprus. The media in Southern Cyprus, which generally voices exaggerated and excessive feelings in almost every issue, is actually worried not even enough in this issue. Of course what ever will be will be, but the Greek Cypriot is still to adopt a rationalistic way of acting during this process. |
