Beşparmak Think Tank Group: “The requirements of the bi-zonality are ignored”

Stating that negotiating the issues of security and guarantees in the Cyprus talks is a mistake, Beşparmak Think Tank Group accused the Greek side for trying to alienate the property issue from the bi-zonality principle.

It was expressed, “Greek Cypriots consider this as their individual right and they are trying to solve this by the court. This attitude ignores the requirements of the bi-zonality and the socio-economic texture formed in both sides after 1974. This is unacceptable.”

Beşparmak Think Tank Group stated that they expressed their views on the property, bi-zonality, security, guarantees, governance, power sharing, economy, EU harmonization and citizenship issues to President Mustafa Akıncı. Expressing their views on the security and guarantees, Beşparmak Think Tank Group said, “In this current condition, negotiating the issues of security and guarantees in the Cyprus talks is a mistake. Moreover, it is a mistake to try to equalize the rights of an assailant who persistently tries to disrupt the 1960 regulations in Cyprus through violence with the rights of those who were attacked many times.”
