Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (18.03.14) reports that the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Ergoluhas said that it is extremely good for the people being attached to their village and the place they have been born and grew up, but today they have to defend the territory on which they live.

In statements yesterday during a meeting with a delegation from Vroisa village, Eroglu alleged: “We have established a state on these lands. After all, there could be no state without territory. Therefore, the most difficult debates at the negotiating table will be held again on the territory issue. Our view is to be able to reach an agreement by displacing the least possible of our people and even without displacing anyone. There will be some people who will be displaced with minor border adjustments. This is a separate issue…”

He went on and claimed that at the negotiating table it should not be ignored that their “people” have been living on these lands for 40 years and took roots here.
