"We wish to improve fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus. The main target in our relations with
Azerbaijan is to establish cultural and social relations," Mehmed
Ali Talat, the president of TRNC told the APA at the briefing held
for foreign media in Istanbul.
"We understand the problems of Azerbaijan, as we have analogous
problems. But despite all problems we are resolute to improve our
relations," he said.
Mehmed Ali Talat said that he paid an official visit to Pakistan and
noted that he expects an official invitation from Azerbaijan. Mehmed
Ali Talat said the resolution of the UN Security Council concerning
TRNC is applied unconditionally, but Armenia does not fulfill the
resolutions of the same organization on the liberation of Azerbaijani
territories.
"I don't like the word double standard. There are but more standards
here. Different standards are applied to both countries. Nagorno
Garabagh and Northern Cyprus should not be substituted. The occupation
of 20% of Azerbaijani territories is a terrible fact. The world
community is indifferent to it. The accession of Greek Cyprus, to
the European Union, is an important factor against us. The Greek do
not reach consensus. In this situation it comes into view why we are
facing manifold but not double standards," he said. /APA/
