Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen (04.01.12) publishes an interview with professor Dr Ahmet Sozen at the international relations department of the “East Mediterranean University”.

Dr Sozen claimed that the only way to test the real intention of the Greek Cypriot side is to open the territory chapter in the January summit, adding that they should put a map on the negotiation table.

Dr Sozen also argued that the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu does not want to be described as the person who granted land. He explained that Eroglu wants to leave the “territory issue” at the international conference, which means to Turkey, adding “Eroglu wants Turkey to give land; however, the territory issue is not an issue of the international conference”.
