It is not right 'to compare' Karabakh and Cyprus conflicts
Fri 21 January 2011 08:21 GMT | 10:21 Local Time
'The Nagorno Karabakh and Cyprus conflicts are completely different
from each other'.
This statement came from president of the Democratic Party of the
Turkish Republic of North Cyprus Serdar Denktash.
He said that Nagorno Karabakh is occupied Azerbaijani territories and
the Azerbaijani population of the territory had been banished from the
region:
'Cyprus is common territory of Greeks and Turks. The Greek side
attempted to occupy the entire territory of Cyprus in 1974, but the
Turkish side did not reconcile with it and had to interfere. After the
agreement signed in 1976, the Turkish Cypriots living in the south
migrated to the north, and the Greeks living in the north migrated to
the south. We had not occupied the northern territories. The only
occupied thing in this island is the rights of the Turks'.
According to Denktash, it is not right to compare Nagorno Karabakh and
Cyprus conflicts: 'The only common reason is that both Azerbaijan and
Turkey want to deliver its positions to world community'.
