Furthermore, stressing that racist and hatred thoughts must be stopped in order to reach a solution, Talat added that the necessary precautions must be taken and the necessary laws must be prepared. In his statement to Radio Güven, Talat said that he did not understand the attitude of the Greek Cypriot Police, adding “They just watched and they did not arrest the criminals.
