UN processes will not yield result for Turkish Cypriots, minister says

Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu told Gündem Kıbrıs Web TV that UN processes will not produce a result favourable to Turkish Cypriots while Security Council resolutions and UN parameters remain. He questioned why President Erhürman continues talks with the Greek Cypriot leader, and criticised a 1 October parade featuring US, British and French soldiers.

Reviewing his New York visit, including the UN General Assembly, he called President Erdoğan's speech festive for Turkish Cypriots. He said their national cause is a long-term struggle and that Turkey's support is their only power in addition to their own.

On property, he said the European Court of Human Rights and the EU had stayed silent over Greek Cypriot arrests, although the ECHR had established the Immovable Property Commission (TMK) as a valid domestic remedy. He called this "the pinnacle of rudeness."
