LEFKOSA - Prime Minister of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Ferdi Sabit Soyer called on TRNC President Mehmet Ali Talat and the leader of the Greek Cypriot administration Tassos Papadopoulos to get together this weekend and begin talks.
Speaking on Turkish Cypriot Bayrak television channel (BTR), Soyer said the insistence of Papadopoulos in not meeting with President Talat was an attempt to kill talks between the two communities and emphasized the need for the dialogue process to begin for discussing how to deal with the subjects underlying the Cyprus issue.
Commenting on the "Lokmaci issue", Soyer said this was an important symbol and said the Greek Cypriots were left to demolish the wall as a result of the appropriate policies pursued by the TRNC.
Making reference to Greek initiatives to open a border gate in the Yesilirmak area, Soyer underlined discussions regarding the opening of other border gates before Lokmaci gate was opened were futile.
