[02] OZGUR: ``HAVING A CYPRUS PASSPORT IS THE TURKISH CYPRIOTS’ RIGHT''According to KIBRIS (3/12/98), the so-called Nicosia deputy of the Patriotic Union Movement, Ozker Ozgur, has declared that acquiring a Republic of Cyprus passport is the right of Turkish Cypriots. In a statement to KIBRIS, Ozgur said that he favours Turkish Cypriots to exercise their rights stipulated by the 1960 Treaties. He said: ``The Turkish Cypriots have rights stipulated under the 1960 Treaties. These rights are in accordance with international law. Any Turkish Cypriot can exercise this right.
