Mr Talat, who was a guest at the Glance from the EU program of ADA Television station, said that he asked Mr Christofias about this statement and that Mr Christofias told him that the Turkish Cypriot leader’s statements were translated into three languages and the meaning was lost in the translation. I have never talked about two states and he knows it, Mr Talat said.

He went on and added that this process is psychological warfare and that these kind of speculations aim to put a distance between him and the (Turkish Cypriot) people, adding that this is a more dangerous game than the one played by Papadopoulos. He also said that the Greek Cypriot side is trying to make him appear at the international arena as an unreliable person. Mr Talat also said that he does not know how the Cyprus problem will be solved the way things are going. He said that the Greek Cypriot side is putting on the table things that do not exist and they ask him to put pressure on Turkey. However, the Turkish Cypriots and Turkey supported the solution. What did they do? They prevented the solution together with Papadopoulos, he said.

Mr Talat also said that he wants the unification of the island because there is no other better alternative. He said that they want to make a marriage based on logic with the Greek Cypriots and added that it does not matter if there is no passion as long as there is love, as regards the solution.
