National Unity Party (UBP) leader and Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün stated that the UN parameters of bi-communality and bi-zonality no longer apply and that there will be no further negotiations based on them. He said, “Only if the Greek Cypriot side accepts Motherland Turkey’s full and effective guarantee, bi-zonality, the unconditional equality of the Turkish Cypriot people and the equal status of the two constituent states on the island, can negotiations be restarted.”
