Erdogan:
🔹"[...] There are already two separate peoples and two separate states that have been established in Cyprus. At the point we have reached, we believe that it would be a waste of time to start negotiations exclusively on the basis of the federation.

🔹As we protect our rights on our continental shelf in the Eastern Mediterranean, so we maintain the legal rights and interests of the Turkish Cypriot people as an equal partner of the island. The reason for the current situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is the duo of Greece and Greek Cypriots who from 2003 until now, do not listen to our warnings and do not take into account our constructive proposals”
