What’s important for the Turkish side is not the name of the solution model for the Cyprus issue, but for the solution to include political equality, effective participation in decision-making mechanisms and security guarantees, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said.
Speaking last night at a reception in Ankara on tourism in the occupied territories, as reported by CNA from Turkey, Fuat Octay said they attach importance to developing the northern part of Cyprus from an economic point of view, while adding that a new approach is needed in the vision of boosting tourism in the occupation territories.
