Nicosia considers that statements made by Turkish Cypriot leader, Ersin Tatar, in an interview he gave to “Phileleftheros” newspaper is another effort to promote his positions that the Turkish Cypriot puppet regime constitute a separate “entity” and about Turkish Cypriots` “sovereign rights”.

Invited to comment on Tatar`s statements, a source told the Cyprus News Agency (CNA) he made them “with a view to promote his position for sovereign rights and to show that the pseudostate exists as an entity which makes proposals.”

In relation to the issue of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) the source noted that it is Cyprus President, Nicos Anastasiades, who has submitted a set of such measures from which both communities would benefit and which would improve the climate for the resumption of the negotiations for a Cyprus settlement.
