Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris Postasi newspaper (25.08.15) reports that Huseyin Ozgurgun, chairman of the National Unity Party (UBP), has alleged that efforts are exerted during the past few days to put the Turkish Cypriots under pressure through information published in the Greek Cypriot press. In a statement issued yesterday, Ozgurgun argued that rhetoric aiming at torpedoing the negotiating process should be disregarded.
Ozgurgun said that his party continues to believe that, in parallel to the political equality of the “two peoples”, sovereignty and bi-zonality, Turkey’s active and effective guarantees are also fundamental in an agreement for the Cyprus problem.
He claimed that it is not possible for them to forget what he called as “the inhuman behaviour” against the Turkish Cypriots, including many “injustices, and mass murders”. “It is especially not possible for the agreement to carry the Turkish Cypriot people to the pre-1974 period, something which is the Greek Cypriot side’s dream”, he alleged.
