This week's guest of the traditional Wednesday Conferences of the Center for Economic and Social Research (ESAM) is the former Ambassador of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Ahmet Zeki Bulunç.
"DECISIONS TAKEN IN CYPRUS PEACE OPERATION ARE VERY IMPORTANT"
He started his speech by explaining the historical process of Cyprus and said that National Vision Leader Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan contributed a great deal to the coming of Cyprus to this point. Pointing out the importance of the Cyprus Peace Operation, Bulunç said, "if we are not talking about massacres today, if there is peace in the region and there is a free Muslim state, we owe it to the decision taken that day."
"We couldn't talk about the Turkey's existence"
"Eastern Mediterranean security is very important for Turkey and the TRNC. Eastern Mediterranean is very important for us. It protects the interests and strategic position of our country. Another important point is the existence of the TRNC. When we consider a two-state structure in Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean Turkey's interests would be safeguarded. Northern Cyprus, Cyprus will occur in a federation under the name is not the name of the Turkish Republic, can not talk to the interests of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean. If the Greek Cypriots as we accept our yes to the Annan Plan des today was not to talk about the presence of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean, it was difficult even to think about," Bulunç added.
THEY WANT THE U.S. CONTROL IN CYPRUS
"According to some data, in 1982, in the presidential and parliamentary elections, the United States carried out a research on how to drop Denktaş and someone who would agree when he sat down at the table and said et accept it instead of Denktaş. The prominent name was today's President Mustafa Akıncı. We can see this in US sources. Akıncı's 8-year life in the United States to come after the election of the President immediately come to see why we need to take that day. We need to consider why Akıncı called today a federation. Instead of talking about federal structures in the TRNC for our own interests, we need to talk about two equal states. The main idea of the US is that it seeks a compromise in Cyprus because it wants to create a Cyprus under US control," he said.
"BALANCES CHANGED IN THE REGION"
Bulunç, the Exclusive Economic Zone between Turkey and Libya, with an emphasis Consensus is very important, drew attention to serious change in the balance of the agreement.
"Greece and Israel, are carrying out a strategy of containment of Turkey. With this agreement, Turkey can get a serious role in the balance," he said.
