Turkish Cypriot president asks Christofias why he trifles by saying "no" to everything

LEFKOSA (A.A) - February 7, 2012 - Turkish Cypriot President Dervis Eroglu asked the leader of the Greek Cypriot administration, Demetris Christofias, why he trifled by saying "no" to everything. Speaking to reporters in the Turkish Cypriot capital of Lefkosa on Tuesday, President Eroglu said that if Christofias had no intention for an agreement, he should openly say that he does not need an agreement under the circumstances. Having a state strengthens our hand at the negotiations table. The negotiations continue under equal conditions. It is natural to have differing views in a state, President Eroglu stressed. I believe that we have shown to the world that we are the side that sits at the negotiation table with the intention for an agreement, Eroglu underlined. We will either agree or not. There are two options. There is no longer a medium point, Eroglu also said.
