Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci has said that a rotating presidency in Cyprus is "an inevitable result of political equality” and that the Turkish Cypriot side insists on this, reports Kibris.
Akinci said that the solution to be reached will be a bi-zonal, bi-communal federal structure based on political equality.
"If we say that a Turkish Cypriot will never be able to become head of this structure, it means that there is no political equality. We insist on this issue. This issue is on the agenda. We think that it will be concluded with reconciliation. There is no decided situation on this issue. We hope that it will be positively concluded”.
Akinci expressed the belief that "a way out could be found” on the guarantees, if an agreement is reached by which both sides will be satisfied on issues such as the territory, the property, the governance and power sharing, the EU and the economy.
He noted that the guarantees are not an issue that can be solved by the two communities during the negotiating process and added: "The three guarantor countries should agree with the two communities. There is no new offer on this issue yet. If we approach a serious reconciliation point on the other fields, I believe that a way out could be found on this issue”.
