🔸 "As a mother country and a guarantor power, we will continue to support the Turkish Cypriots without limits, in their fight for their legal rights. We fully support them on the issue of Varosia. The Greeks and Cypriots can not accept the opening of the beach front. They do not see that they also benefit from this development. They do not hear or see. We call it justice, they are anachronistic"

🔸 "We will not leave the Turkish Cypriots alone. There are two different worlds, two different democracies and two different states on the island. There is no other solution than that of the two states, we are clear on that and we will discuss that. "Greeks do not want to share in this area for years"
