"‘Talat shows his true colours’
By Elias Hazou
THE GOVERNMENT reacted yesterday to Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat’s comments to a Turkish newspaper, saying it would be launching a “large-scale campaign” abroad to prove that Talat’s ultimate agenda was recognition of the pseudostate and not reunification.
In an interview with the New Anatolian, an online paper, Talat called on the EU to press the Greek Cypriots to end their “embargo” against the Turkish Cypriots.
“If the Turkish Cypriots were no longer isolated, the Greek side would accept the Annan plan, or even less,” he said.
He went on to reveal that, during the recent deliberations in Brussels, the Turkish Cypriot side proposed the opening of ports and airports in the north in exchange for the return of Varosha to the Greek Cypriots."
