TDP Leader Cemal Özyiğit said that while Turkey-EU relations are becoming normal and developing, steps should also be taken in this direction in Cyprus.
“The real normalization in Cyprus can only be possible with a comprehensive, fair and permanent solution of the Cyprus problem” Özyiğit added.
Özyiğit also expressed that the recommendation of the European Commission regarding visa-free travel is towards normalization and developing Turkey-EU relations, adding that the decision also predicts visa-free travel of Turkish citizens to South Cyprus.
Furthermore, Özyiğit said that while Turkey is progressing on the way to EU membership, we should do together whatever is necessary to reach a permanent solution in Cyprus. The current developments put forth once more the importance of a solution in Cyprus.
