"Turkish army: we’ll leave once a fair settlement is found

THE TURKISH army will withdraw from Cyprus if a solution to the Cyprus problem is found, the head of the Turkish armed forces indicated yesterday.

“We came to Cyprus to make peace, and will remain here keeping the peace until a fair and lasting settlement is found,” Chief of Staff Yasar Buyukanit said during a one-day visit to Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat yesterday.

As if to drum the message home, Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat echoed Buyukanit’s statement, saying that the Turkish army had provided security for the Turkish Cypriot people over the last three decades, and would continue to do so “until a fair and lasting settlement of the Cyprus problem has been found”."
