Erdogan threatens that Turkey will not remain silent

Erdogan threatens that Turkey will not remain silent if international organizations will not fulfil their responsibilities for stability and security in the Mediterranean
Ankara Anatolia news agency (28.09.11) reported from Ankara that Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in statements during a party meeting in Ankara on Wednesday said that that none of the peace-keeping organizations were saying something to the “Greek Cypriot administration”.

Erdogan also said that the “Greek Cypriot administration”, as he called the Republic of Cyprus was making sabotage by calling it “drilling.”

Erdogan stated also the following: “Institutions are saying nothing although their duty is to preserve peace”. “Turkey was exerting utmost efforts for a settlement that would satisfy both parties in Cyprus, however the Greek Cypriot administration was finding pretexts, escaping from a settlement”, he added.

“What the EU (European Union) does is obvious. It admits unilateral membership of the Greek Cypriot administration and punishes the TRNC”, he said.

Erdogan said all countries should see the facts, that the Piri Reis seismic research vessel had launched studies in the south of Cyprus because Turkey was fulfilling its responsibilities as a guarantor state in the region.

Premier Erdogan also threatened that Turkey will not remain silent if international organizations that were assigned to restore peace and order, security and stability in the world were not fulfilling their mission.

Erdogan criticized the United Nations (UN), and said that it was condoning unjust and inhumane behaviours and acts of some countries, whereas it was imposing many sanctions on some other countries.

“On one hand you put pressure and sanctions on Iraq for nuclear energy projects while on the other hand you remain silent to Somalia and you do not follow any of 89 sanction decisions regarding Israel,” he said.

Erdogan said the UN could not solve world problems if it did not behave fairly, and problems in Cyprus, Somalia and Syria were stemming from unilateral, insincere and unjust attitude of the international community, particularly Western countries.

Premier Erdogan also said Turkey does not have the luxury to remain indifferent to the very rapidly changing world.
