Tatar calls on Greek Cypriot Administration for energy cooperation

TRNC President Ersin Tatar addressed the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus and reiterated his call, “Let’s collaborate and establish a cable connection to Europe via the Republic of Türkiye”. President Tatar made a speech at the “Eastern Mediterranean Energy Summit” held at the Conference Hall of the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce.  

Stating that the refusal of the Greek Cypriot side to transfer energy to Europe via Türkiye is not logical and feasible. The President noted that it would be both costly and difficult to do this through Greece. 

The President said that it is known by everyone that the Turkish Cypriot side will not approve a solution in which the majority will rule the minority on a federal basis and Türkiye will be completely excluded from the Eastern Mediterranean. 

Ersin Tatar pointed out that the parameters of the game in the Eastern Mediterranean have now changed and that the formula that will ensure a fair distribution of the potential in the Mediterranean is through two equal states with equal status.
