WNAM MONITORING: President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“As the country with the longest coastline in the Eastern Mediterranean, Türkiye’s key role is undeniable,” President Erdoğan underscored. “Türkiye has rights to the north and west of the Island of Cyprus in the declared continental shelf and Turkish Cypriots have rights all around the Island. It has been 50 years since the Cyprus Peace Operation and 61 years since the Cyprus issue emerged as a result of the usurpation of the partnership state by Greek Cypriots. From that day to this, peace and tranquillity have prevailed on the Island. It has always been the Turkish Cypriots and Türkiye that have shown a sincere will to bring about a just, permanent and sustainable solution to the Cyprus issue. The federation model has now completely lost its validity. There are two separate states and two separate peoples on the island. The sovereign equality and equal international status of the Turkish Cypriots, which are their inherent rights, should be reaffirmed, and the isolation should now come to an end. Today, I once again call on the international community to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and establish with it diplomatic, political and economic relations”.
