“Troublesome for Turkey,” Tatar said – “This decision is unfortunate and short-sighted and will harm peace in the region,” Oktay stressed
Its political leadership seems to be in a state of embarrassment Turkey then the new “slap” from the USA, which announced the lifting of the arms embargo on Cyprus.
As reported by the SKAI correspondent from Istanbul, Manolis Kostidisthe leader of the Turkish Cypriots, Ersin Tatar, responding to a journalist’s question about whether “with this decision the US, after the Aegean islands, is also militarizing Cyprus” and “maybe we can say that this place is also being turned into an American base “, he replied:
“With this provision of weapons systems, they will strengthen the Greek Cypriots and tell Turkey “watch out! Look, our weapons systems are also in Cyprus. They will warn Turkey. This fact is embarrassing for Turkey”.
The vice president of the Turkish government, Vat Oktay, in turn, said that “the lifting of the US arms embargo against the ‘Y/K DNK’ is unfortunate and short-sighted for the region. This decision, which will harm peace in the region and make the non-solution permanent, should be reversed as soon as possible. Turkey will continue to fulfill with determination its responsibility as a guarantor country for an environment of peace and tranquility on the island.”
1️⃣ABD’s lifting of the arms embargo against GKRY is a failure and there is no understanding of the region. This decision, which will harm regional peace and make the resolution permanent, must be reversed.
