Ozgurgun condemned recent statements by President Anastasiades
Under the above title, Turkish Cypriot daily Star Kibris newspaper (22.12.15) reports on statements by Huseyin Ozgurgun, chairman of the opposition National Unity Party (UBP).

Commenting in a written statement the recent statement made by President Anastasiades that “the areas provided in the Annan Plan to be returned to the Greek Cypriots could in no way be changed and that this is a sine qua non”, Ozgurgun said that such statements affect negatively the negotiation process and caused anger to the Turkish Cypriot “people”, whose hopes towards a possible agreement have been reduced.

“Such statements which affect negatively the negotiation process, reminds to the Turkish Cypriots that the Greek Cypriot’s mentality has not changed and will not change and that the Greek Cypriots would continue ignoring the existence of the Turkish Cypriot people in the island, their security, their freedoms, rights and benefits”.

Ozgurgun added that it is naturally for the “people” to wonder how a fair and viable agreement is possible to be reached with the Greek Cypriots by March, when they have no goodwill and are narrow-minded.
