A federation in Cyprus is impossible, the Turkish Cypriot foreign minister said on Friday, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency.
In a news conference held in Lefkosa, Tahsin Ertugruloglu said building a federation in Cyprus was just a “dream”.
“Building a federation [in Cyprus] is not possible,” he added.
The 2004 federation plan, named after then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, was accepted by Turkish Cypriots in a referendum but rejected by Greek Cypriots.
“Insisting on a federation in Cyprus is an insult to the Turkish Cypriot people,” Ertugruloglu said, adding they were fed up with “uncertainty”.
He believes that even hundred years of negotiations over a two-state federation in Cyprus will yield no results.
