President Ersin Tatar received Head of Mission of the UN Force in Cyprus, Colin Stewart today

President Ersin Tatar held a meeting with Colin Stewart, the Head of Mission of the UN Force in Cyprus.

During the meeting, which lasted about an hour, President Ersin Tatar reiterated the Turkish Cypriot side's position of a settlement, on the basis of the sovereign equality and equal international status of the two sides which co-exist side-by-side in a cooperative relationship.
 
President Tatar stressed that the Turkish Cypriot people, who have inherent rights, will never give up on their sovereign equality and equal international status and that efforts to find a realistic, fair and sustainable settlement in Cyprus will continue.  
 
The President also underlined that the Turkish Cypriot side attaches great importance to the mechanism created through the work of the bilateral Technical Committees, so as not to be affected by the negativities in the political process due to Greek Cypriot intransigence.  
 
Special Representative M. Ergün Olgun and members of the negotiation team were also present at the meeting.
