“Greece, with today's statement, once again exhibits her unrealistic perceptions and rights-refusing attitudes regarding the problems in our region,” Aksoy said.
He underlined that Greek/Greek Cypriot side, deliberately ignored the fact that Turkey has legitimate and sovereign rights in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea and Turkish Cypriots have equal rights, as the co-owner of the Island, on the resources around the Island.
“The actual threat to peace and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean is the maximalist and uncompromising attitude of the Greek and Greek Cypriot duo,” he added.
He also stressed that Turkey would resolutely continue to protect both its rights and the Turkish Cypriots’ rights in the Eastern Mediterranean.
