We are the only party always making gestures

Turkish Minister and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis who has given a speech to the External Relations Commitee of European Parliement reacted to Greek and Cypriot Greek parliamentarians and he said “ We are the only party always making gestures since 2002 beginning with the Annan Plan. If Greece and UK will recall all their troops on the island, we can discuss this issue, too. Let's make the gestures together.”. Bagis also declared provided that EU removes the isolation on TRNC and starts direct trading, Turkey is ready to open the harbours to Southern Cyprus and “There is only one EU member who benefits from free movement and trades with TRNC: Southern Cyprus. They don't want to share this privilege with the other EU members.” he stressed.
