Turkish Cypriots have continue to suffer under unjust embargoes because Greek Cypriots refused to accept the political equality - Turkish FM

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said that the Greek Cypriots have not come to terms with and accepted the political equality of Turkish Cypriots who continue to suffer under unjust embargoes.

Speaking at the 40th session of the Human Rights Council being held in Geneva Switzerland, the Turkish Foreign Minister said that a new negotiations process in Cyprus could only begin if this mentality changed.

The Greek Cypriots are still unable to accept the political equality of Turkish Cypriots who have been for decades suffering from inhumane and unjust embargoes. Their understanding of a solution is to actively integrate Turkish Cypriots as a minority within their current state. A new negotiations process can only begin if this mentality changes he said.
