Republican Turkish Celebration (CTP) Chairman Tufan Erhürman spoke from the Parliamentary Rostrum concerning the visits of Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar, the Private Consultant of the United Nations (UN) Secretary Common, and the statements of President Ersin Tatar.
Erhürman commented on Tatar's discourses of “sovereign equality and equal sovereignty” and acknowledged that Tatar's discourses had been inconsistent and meaningless.
Highlights from CTP Chairman Erhürman's speech:
“Evaluating Ms. Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar's contacts and her assembly with President Ersin Tatar, CTP Chairman Tufan Erhürman acknowledged that he didn’t consider Tatar's statements, “Mr. Holguin, we consider that you just now perceive nicely what’s what.”
TATAR'S DISCOURSES DO NOT HOLD TOGETHER. The textual content I based mostly my speech on is the textual content printed on the Presidency's web site. There was the identical textual content in different newspapers. However I didn't wish to depend on them.
Right here, in his assertion, Mr. Tatar says, “We consider that Holguin now understands what’s what.” I swear, I don't consider Holguin understands nicely what’s what.
We additionally met and talked with Holguin, however greater than that, I don't consider what he understands from what he mentioned right here. As a result of what Mr. Tatar mentioned doesn’t match what he mentioned right here.
In fact, if what he says doesn’t match what he says, it is not going to be potential for the Private Consultant of the UN Secretary-Common to know what’s what, not to mention perceive it higher.
I'm not saying this simply to justify what you're saying. Mr. Tatar says on his web site:
In different phrases, it says in a spot that must be corrected even when it was written incorrectly: “This “equal sovereignty” and “equal worldwide standing” is the coverage now we have been pursuing for 3 years.”
“One line of equal sovereignty, one line later of sovereign equality.”
We expressed to them that if we’re happy with some severe initiatives relating to equal worldwide standing, a brand new course of can start.
Is what we name new politics sovereign equality? Equal sovereignty?
Should you nonetheless haven't been in a position to place these two correctly, it’s after all unattainable for Ms. Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar to know this.
Since you already mentioned that we gave up equal sovereignty and talked about sovereign equality.
Diplomacy can’t be performed by saying, “I mentioned it as soon as, I corrected the error an hour later, however six paragraphs later I mentioned equal sovereignty once more.”
By saying so, the desire of the Turkish Cypriot Folks will not be represented. Look, I'm saying it this clearly. I've by no means seen something like this in my life. The insurance policies of the late Denktaş and us, as CTP and as I take advantage of it, relating to the Cyprus downside don’t coincide at any time. However I all the time understood what the late Denktaş mentioned.
Look, there are two ideas, not many, one among them is sovereign equality, the opposite is equal Worldwide Standing…
Sovereign equality? Equal sovereignty?
If it doesn't matter to you, that's okay with me. The Republican Turkish Celebration already acts from equal sovereignty.
We all know that the Federation can also be constructed on equal sovereignty.
“IF YOU DON'T WANT A SOLUTION, WHAT DO YOU WANT?” The 2 communities sit on the negotiation desk as leaders.
So, the Greek Cypriot neighborhood chief is at the moment on the desk. Hristodulidis, if the Tatar additionally sits on the desk, the Turkish Cypriot neighborhood chief.
However if you have a look at the desk, Mr. Tatar is the President of an unrecognized state, Mr. Hristodulidis is the President of a acknowledged State. If you wish to equalize this, there are two methods.
When you sit on the desk, two well-known states will sit on the desk. It could stop to acknowledge each Republics of Cyprus and there can be two unrecognized states.
Whether or not if you sat on the desk or if you stood up, in Mr. Tatar's current statements, you gave up on us on the negotiating desk.
Then there’s a means again. If you don’t hand over recognizing the Republic of Cyprus, you could say that we’ll not sit on the desk.
Do you could have a declare to sit down on the desk if you don’t hand over recognizing the Republic of Cyprus, which is a member of the United Nations and the European Union?
Then, after I ask you, Maria Angela Holguin, what do you demand? Do you could have a single phrase to say?
There isn’t any different means, the one means is a bi-regional Federation that offers political equality.
In different phrases, you can not each need a resolution and say what you need when you do not need an answer…
Mr. Tatar says, “Our most important discomfort is that the UN Cyprus Administration sees itself as the only real ruler of the island.” There are some sentences of Mr. Tatar that I agree with every so often. Sure, we’re of the identical opinion.
In different phrases, if we are saying the Turkish Cypriot individuals, or within the language of federation or resolution, our resolution proposal on how you can flip the Turkish Cypriot neighborhood into a global topic may be very clear. Concerning the content material, the 2 communities are the political equals of the 2 areas, and relating to the methodology, on the 4 pillars now we have listed right here and overseas. We additionally current the tactic.
And we are saying very clearly that this downside have to be eradicated.
However this equal sovereignty or sovereign equality, whichever you select, is within the 1960 Settlement and our rights come from there.
The 1960 Settlement is the settlement signed by the leaders of the 2 communities on behalf of the 2 communities. There’s equal sovereignty there.
The place do we discover equal sovereignty problematic, not sovereign equality? We discovered the issue in the truth that it was a useful federation, not a geographically based mostly federation. They noticed that the widespread place of the Turkish Cypriot facet must be “equal sovereignty” and there must be a federation on a geographical foundation.
