The Turkish Minister of Defense insists on two states in Cyprus.

“We know that our country, surrounded by seas on three sides, must have a strong navy in order to reach the vast expanse and protect its law and rights. Turkish naval forces are a key element in protecting our country’s national interests and contribute to regional peace with the critical missions they undertake. In this context, we have implemented many projects with the instructions of our T/C “President” in order to maintain and further increase the power of our Navy. Recently, the activities of our first national aircraft carrier, as well as our first national submarine and destroyer, began. At present, 31 ships are being built at the same time in our shipyards. ”

And Yasar Gulen supports the Cyprus issue:

“As we have always stated with determination, Cyprus is our national issue. The only and definitive solution to the island is to recognize the dominant equality and the equal international regime of the ‘Turkish Cypriot people’. Turkey is determined to take all kinds of military and political measures to protect the security, peace and prosperity of the Turkish Cypriots now and in the future, as it has done in the past. “

“In violation of the agreements, the” Greek Cypriot administration of southern Cyprus “(Cypriot Republic) follows a policy aimed at developing military cooperation with many different states inside and outside the area and disturbing the sensitive balance of forces on the island.
These developments, which will increase the equipment and thus the tension on the island, will harm peace and stability in Cyprus and may also have dangerous consequences for the whole region.

“We continue to take all the necessary measures against the destabilizing activities of the” Greek Cypriot administration of southern Cyprus “(Cypriot Republic), which is trying to benefit from the crisis in the Middle East, under the pretext of humanitarian aid, as well as its vain equipment. Everyone who knows recent history knows how efforts have come to test our rights and interests in ‘Blue Homeland’, as well as our determination to protect the rights of ‘Turkish Cypriots’. We expect everyone to act with full awareness of these events. We want to see the Mediterranean and the Aegean as an area of ​​stability and prosperity. However, we emphasize that, while trying for a peaceful solution, we will never compromise on our national rights and interests. “
