Gul: Turkey Wants Co-existence Of Two Societies In Cyprus

WARSAW - Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Gul said on Tuesday that Turkey wanted co-existence of two societies in Cyprus.
Gul, who is paying an official visit to Poland, delivered a speech on Turkey's approaches to European Union (EU) at the College of Europe Natolin.
When the ambassador of the Greek Cypriot side in Warsaw asked him if Turkey was sincere in solution of Cyprus issue, Gul said, ''we want co-existence of two societies in the island. But, facts of the island should not be ignored. We don't want this issue to be re-brought to agenda after it is solved. If it is re-brought to agenda, this will be a disaster for everybody. 1960s and 1970s should not be forgotten.''
