ANTALYA - Turkish Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AK Party) leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that those who could not conclude Cyprus issue in Turkey for years and those who played with time were still in an effort to delay solution of Cyprus issue.
Erdogan touched on Cyprus issue in his party's meeting in Antalya.
No one could not make evaluation that the 58th and 59th governments of Turkish Republic were governments which did not take into notice of both Turkey's and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus's (TRNC) sublime interests, Erdogan stressed.
Erdogan noted that they were carrying out important work with good will for solution of Cyprus issue. Recalling Davos, New York and Buergenstock processes, Erdogan said that theses were voiced in line with general strategy which was formed with participation of concerned sides of Turkey and TRNC from the beginning of this process.
They extended great efforts to put into practice of ''win-win'' formula which was the most ideal solution in such international accord issues, he stated and noted that they maintained their attitude in favor of solution although they could not receive response of this effort and good will from time to time.
Stating that the following stage in the process was referendum, Erdogan said that this peaceful attitude in favor of solution was assessed in world public opinion with sensitivity.
Erdogan said that all their demands were not met and but added that it was obvious that Turkish side gained very important achievements by complying with its sine qua nons that Turkish side defended for years.
Prime Minister Erdogan added that it was the Turkish Cypriot people who would say the final word with their democratic will in the simultaneous referenda which would be held in the island on April 24.
