Akıncı underlines the determination of the Turkish Cypriots concerning solution
President Mustafa Akıncı met with President of European Parliament Martin Schulz in Brussels and emphasized the determination of the Turkish Cypriots concerning a solution in Cyprus.
Akıncı and Schulz organized a joint press conference following the meeting. Speaking at the press conference, Schulz stated that the European Parliament is ready to give the utmost support for a solution.
Within the framework of his visit to Brussels, Akıncı came together with the Presidents of 3 Institutions of European Union (European Union, European Commission and European Council).
Akıncı stated in the press conference that Turkish Cypriots do not want the continuation of the status quo and they want to see a solution for the next generations.
Akıncı said “We have also another reason for a solution. It is that the Turkish Cypriots had been “outside of international law” for many years. We want to be ‘the part and partner of European Union’. We want to be a part of international law and system”.
