AA- President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Rauf Denktas is making preparations for retirement after serving as the leader of the Turkish Cypriots for 32 years. ''If concessions are given in TRNC, this would lead to certain developments in Turkey. It would be too late after we lose our state. If the Turks change their mind in TRNC, I am afraid that Cyprus would become a second Crete.''
