President Tatar made the next statements to SABAH:
WE MADE HISTORY
We had been prevented from going to Australia for years. Utilizing the lobbies of Greece and the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus, they didn’t enable the President of the TRNC to grant a visa. Although different international locations don’t acknowledge the TRNC, they don’t create any obstacles for me to go to their international locations. We may go as TRNC President. Australia had beforehand refused to situation official visas to presidents who requested one. They will provide a vacationer visa, however it will not be acceptable to hold out a go to with this visa inside the scope of our obligation because the President of the TRNC. For that reason, earlier presidents couldn’t make this go to. Although I had difficulties on this regard, I made this go to in accordance with the Turkish Ministry of International Affairs and our contacts. Our folks there have been very blissful about our go to as nobody had been capable of go till now. Turkish Cypriots dwelling there had the notion that 'Our state didn’t shield us'. Now they stated, “President, you may have made historical past, we’ve got made historical past, we’re very happy that the TRNC President got here right here and requested us how we had been doing.” Because the Nineteen Forties, Turkish Cypriots went to settle there. Now the fourth era Turkish Cypriots stay there. These folks, 14 thousand kilometers away, say, 'Possibly our physique is right here, however our coronary heart and soul are in TRNC.' We have now a giant mosque there. We noticed this on the spot by visiting the nationalist Turkish Cypriots who stay there religiously and culturally. A complete of 200 thousand of our folks, Turkish Cypriots and Turkish Turks, are united there like flesh and nail. Collectively they will use the ability of diaspora successfully.
WE PRESENTED TRNC WREATH
We have now deep-rooted historic ties. In Atatürk's tackle to Anzac moms in 1934, he stated: 'You might be sheep, aspect by aspect with the Mehmetçiks. the moms who despatched their sons from distant land! Cease your tears. The phrases 'Your kids are in our hearts' had an awesome affect there. We visited the monuments constructed for the Austrians who died within the Gallipoli Battle in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne and offered the TRNC wreath. We went to the Australian parliament. We introduced the TRNC situation there too. The Greeks had been by no means pleased with our contacts. They had been disturbed by our saying that the answer was a two-state answer. The place can we attain and what settlement might be made with this mentality? They need to see Turkish Cypriots as a group. The state shall be theirs, and Turkey will withdraw from the island. We wish a two-state answer.
RELATIONS WITH TURKISH STATES
Azerbaijan invited us to the Group of Turkic States (TDT) summit. I’ll go to Shusha in July. Azerbaijan stands very robust. We proceed our relationships with different Turkish states, with the assist of Turkey, to advance our relationships to the purpose we need over time, as with Azerbaijan.
50 SHIPS IN EPHESUS MADE US EMOTIONAL
