Turkish Cypriots will never be a minority in Cyprus: Erdogan
Turkish Cypriots would never be a minority, but “joint owners” of the divided Cyprus island, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
According to Erdoğan, the Greek Cypriots had serious problems regarding power sharing in the new partnership state in the negotiations that had been going on for half a century on the Cyprus issue.
He met with his Greek counterpart Pavlopoulos and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on his two-day visit, discussing future cooperation in areas such as counter-terrorism, trade, transport, energy, tourism, Cyprus, the Treaty of Lausanne and migration.

Turkish Cypriots will never be reduced to the status of a minority, as the Greek Cypriots wish, on an island, where they are joint owners,” Erdoğan said in an interview to Greek daily ‘To Vima’ on Monday.
I would like to clearly express that these dreams of the Greek Cypriots will never happen”, he added.
