Cyprus Spokesman: Talats mask has been removed

Nicosia, Aug 10 (CNA) The so called excuse for lifting the "isolation" of the Turkish Cypriots, as promoted by Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat and Ankara aims at creating a climate which will be the basis of efforts to gain diplomatic recognition of the illegal regime, Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides has said today.

Commenting on an interview by Talat at the website of Turkish newspaper "New Anatolian", the Spokesman said Talat has removed his mask and proved that his pursuit is the upgrading of the regime and not the solution and reunification of the island.

Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said today that the official and clear stance of the government on the protocol and Turkeys declaration will be expressed during the General Affairs Council in September, in the light of the continued statements made by European officials that Turkey must recognise the Republic of Cyprus.
