A fellow citizen of Nikos Anastasiadis, with Cypriot citizenship, is Ersin Tatar, according to the newspaper Avroupa, which has the front page today with a photo allegedly from the passport of the Republic of Cyprus that has the photo of the current Turkish Cypriot leader.
The article states that President Anastasiadis stated that 97.000 Turkish Cypriots have the identity card and passport of the KD. Among them, writes Avrupa, are Ersin Tatar and Ersan Saner, now "prime minister". "That is, they are also fellow citizens of Anastasiadis… Nevertheless, they were very angry with Anastasiadis who called my Turkish Cypriots'".
On the front page is also the question of President Anastasiadis to Mr. Tatar if the 97.000 Turkish Cypriots who have the identity of KD should be ashamed.
In his article "If you are ashamed, burn them or return them", Sener Levent writes that the passport was obtained by Ersin Tatar through acquaintances in June 2000, before the roadblocks were opened. Then, he says, those who wanted the passport got it through acquaintances in the "south" and one of them was Tatar. "We were not as lucky as Tatar. At that time, they called us Greek spies ". Ersin Tatar took the passport through the back door, Levent said, explaining that he himself was interrogated because he had a meeting with Greek Cypriot and Greek journalists in Pyla and what he was saying to Andreas Kanaouros, then President of the PSC.
He also states that the passport of Ersan Saner and his wife was then brought by Greek trade unionists who were invited by the Turkish teachers in the occupied territories and searched for the Saner couple through Sener Elzil. Mr. Saner and his wife, Levetne adds, were then preparing to go to America.
Sener Levent calls in his article those who were very angry with President Anastasiadis' reference to "fellow citizens" to return their passports, saying that they only recognize the sovereignty of the "tdbk", that is, the pseudo-state, "prove that you are the grandsons of the Ottomans." sons of Turks, Turks ".
He called on Ersin Tatar to answer the question of President Anastasiadis whether the 97.000 Turkish Cypriots who have a KD identity card and passport should be ashamed. "Ersin answered. Are you ashamed? And you answered Ersan. Are you ashamed? If you are ashamed, burn them. Burn them in front of the sarai. Glory to the nation! To be applauded. Let all the Turks see, sons of the Turks ".
Ersin Tatar
"If there is a way, I will return it," said Ersin Tatar, saying he had a KD passport, which he never used. "I was born before 1974, I have, but I did not use it." In his report yesterday, President Anastasiadis, he added, wanted to say 'you got the identity, you declare submission to me'.
Speaking on the Cyprus Post website, Mr Tatar said: "If" my people, my people are using this passport, it is a necessity. Unfortunately, it is the prerogative of the usurped state. Our people benefit from free movement with this passport. Do the Turkish Cypriots who have the identity reside on the Greek Cypriot side? Are they voting for Anastasiadis? "
President Anastasiadis, said Mr. Tatar, is trying to lead elsewhere his reference to "fellow citizens" addressing the Turkish Cypriots. "So, he means, you got this passport, you declare submission to me."
He reiterated his claim that President Anastasiadis in his speech on 1η April said that Cyprus is a Greek island and the people of "EOKatzides". "I also conveyed my reaction to him before the UN. I told him 'you supposedly want a federation structure with us, but that's what you say'. There is no change in their attitude. But there are some of us who have not yet understood the realities. "
President Anastasiadis, continued Ersin Tatar, "accused us of Ottoman arrogance" and said that this demand - cooperation on the basis of two equal sovereign states - is what the Turkish Cypriot "people" want.
