President Tatar receives Beşparmak Think Tank Group

Noting that a new page has been opened with his election as the President, President Ersin Tatar stated that it has been the Turkish Cypriots to pay the price for the missed opportunities as a result of the long lasting Federation negotiations and pointed to the unfair isolations and embargoes that the Turkish Cypriot people are facing.

During the meeting with the Greek Cypriot leader Anastasiades, President Tatar explained that he drew attention to the unjust treatment towards the Turkish Cypriot people. The President emphasized that the Green Line Regulation and the unacceptable attitude of the Greek Cypriot side towards tourists traveling to the TRNC via Larnaca were brought to the table in the meeting.

Stating that every community has the right to govern itself, President Tatar said, "Turkish Cypriots are a community and they have dealt with very important struggles in this country for 400 years".
 
The President said that the Turkish Cypriots cannot be condemned to being minority by patching a unitary state under the name of a federation through an imposed solution and highlighted the importance of the messages given on 15 November Republic Day.
