There Would Be No Cypriot Problem If Turkey had signed an agreement
with Cypriot Greeks and Turkish troops had abandoned the island in
1974, according to the leader of the Turkish community of Cyprus.
"Turkey's compromise in 1974 could help to uproot the Cypriot
conflict. Although I am not sure whether the circumstances were
appropriate at that time," Mehmet Ali Talat said.
"We will have not only economic but also political problems if Turkey
loses stability as result of ban of the AKP. We will be deprived of
the possibility to move forward," he added, Turtsia.ru reports.
On June 21, the governmental commission of the TRNC and Republic of
Cyprus are scheduled to meet to determine a strategy for the problem
resolution.
