Vice President Yılmaz: Greek Cypriots are not sincere about the solution
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz attended the signing ceremony of the 2026 Turkey-TRNC Economic and Financial Cooperation Agreement with the Prime Minister of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Ünal Üstel at the Presidential Complex.
Yılmaz and Üstel, who signed the agreement, later made a joint press statement.
Yılmaz said that this agreement, signed every year, is one of the most concrete indicators of the unshakable ties and strong cooperation between Türkiye and TRNC.
Emphasizing that Türkiye continues its contractual and historical responsibility for the freedom and welfare of the Turkish Cypriot people, Yılmaz said, “As long as we act in unity of mind and heart for the development and reconstruction of the TRNC, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome, no obstacle we cannot overcome.” he said.
Yilmaz stated that they continue to implement strategic projects that aim for the sustainable growth of the TRNC and increase its welfare and said, “In this context, within the scope of the 2026 Agreement we signed today, approximately 23 billion Turkish liras of resources are allocated, including 21 billion liras of new appropriations. We allocated 48 percent of this budget to infrastructure and real sector projects, 10 percent to public finance supports and 42 percent to defense expenditures.” he said.
“WE CARRIED OUT MAJOR LEAVES IN COORDINATION WITH OUR TRNC CONTROVERSIES”
Stating that they broke a historical record by using approximately 89 percent of the 21 billion lira allocated with the last resource to be transferred in April within the scope of the 2025 Agreement, Yılmaz said, “Thanks to the projects we have implemented within this framework, we will make great strides in coordination with our TRNC counterparts towards our goal of making the TRNC a shining star in the Eastern Mediterranean with its education, health, physical and technological infrastructure, universities, R&D centers and informatics centers.” We carried it out.” he said.
Yılmaz reminded that the Presidency and Parliament buildings were opened in TRNC last year, and that the construction of the National Garden and the National Mosque has been completed, and that the Supreme Court building and the National Library will be opened in the same region soon.
Reminding that new hospitals have been commissioned in the TRNC, Yılmaz said, “In addition to the Güzelyurt State Hospital, the construction of which will be completed this month, we hope to open the opening of the Pamuklu State Hospital, whose construction is continuing rapidly, by November 15. The construction of the Nicosia New State Hospital, which we plan as a modern health center that will include all kinds of facilities, as in the city hospitals in Türkiye, is continuing rapidly. The hospital, whose tender was made just 6 months ago, is the first in rough construction.” “We have reached the first floor.” gave the information.
Reminding that the launch of the e-Government mobile application in the TRNC was carried out in August last year, Yılmaz said, “The Physician Appointment System, which is an important step in this context, was put into operation in March, and we plan to implement the Immigration Information System in 2026. In order to simplify the transactions in land registry and cadastre services in the TRNC, digitalize them, reduce bureaucracy and bring the valuation procedures to international standards, the Parcel Parcel in April 2025.” “The query application has been made available to the people of TRNC during the testing phase. The Land Registry and Cadastre Information System (TAKBİS) works are expected to be completed in June 2026, together with all its sub-projects.” he said.
Yılmaz explained that within the scope of the TRNC Highway Master Plan, a total of 822 kilometers of roads, including 213 kilometers of divided roads, 433 kilometers of single roads, and 176 kilometers of 3rd class roads, have been constructed and put into use for the safe and fast travel of the Turkish Cypriot people. Yılmaz said, “Our work on the Kyrenia Mountain road, which is an important route for the people of the island and is divided into 3 sections, some of which are renovation and the other part is expansion, continues rapidly. We plan to put it into service before the end of the year. Our work on the Dipkarpaz-Zaferburnu route, which has been on the agenda for many years, has been completed, and our work on the Sadrazamköy-Kayalar route has reached the final stage.” he said.
“IN THIS FINANCIAL COOPERATION, WE ACT WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT PRIORITIZES THE REAL ECONOMY”
Yılmaz stated that the facility, which is in the final stages of construction in Güzelyurt, within the scope of the Citrus Sector, Advanced Fruit Processing, Frozen and Cold Storage Capacity Development Project, will be put into service soon, and said that the promotional activities carried out with the “Island Cyprus” brand in tourism attracted attention.
Referring to the economic effects of regional tensions, Yılmaz said:
“In this context, of course, just as all economies are affected, our economy and the economy of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are undoubtedly affected. We continue our efforts together to minimize these effects. On the other hand, we continue our preparations to make the best use of the new conditions that will arise in the new post-war environment. In this context, I would like to underline that the real sector is especially very important. Keeping the real economy alive in this period with its industry, tourism, agriculture, youth, women and all entrepreneur classes, maintaining our production capacity, providing more support to our people. “Producing employment is one of the most critical issues. In this context, we acted with an understanding that prioritizes the real economy in this financial cooperation.”
“IT IS CLEAR THAT GREEK CYPRIOTS ARE NOT SINCERE ABOUT THE SOLUTION”
Yılmaz stated that they have implemented 5 new interest-supported loan programs for the first time with this 2026 agreement and said, “Our aim is to increase investment and production, and to support entrepreneurship and employment, especially young people and women.” he said.
Emphasizing that TRNC’s economy, trade and industry, as well as its rising success rate, as in every field, strengthen the efforts for the Turkish Cypriot people to take their deserved place in the international community, Yılmaz said:
“However, we see that the mentality that cannot digest these facts and achievements and has been trying to intimidate the Turkish Cypriot people with inhumane embargoes for decades now appears before us in different and hostile ways. It is clear that the Greek Cypriots are not sincere about the solution. They never wanted to share the political power and prosperity on the basis of equality with the Turkish Cypriot people, who are the joint owners of the island, and they do not want to. They see the Turkish Cypriot people as a minority and try to integrate them into their so-called state. Their attitude in every meeting held, their response to every positive call given. The flashback makes this clear.
This being the case, we believe that the most realistic way to find a fair, permanent and sustainable solution to the Cyprus issue is for the two states on the island to exist side by side. No one can produce any solution by closing their eyes to the realities on the island. Being two states is of course not an obstacle to cooperation. Of course, any cooperation opportunity that will benefit the entire island should be evaluated. The international community must now understand that any proposal that does not reflect the realities of the island and the will of both parties will not lead us to a fair, permanent and sustainable solution. “The way to live side by side in peace after a permanent solution on the island is through the understanding and acceptance of the legitimate and inherent rights and sovereign equality of the Turkish Cypriot people by all parties.”
– “Otherwise, the delicate balances that exist on the Island of Cyprus will be damaged.”
Yılmaz emphasized that just as the Mujahideen and Mehmetçiks wrote an epic with an unshakable bond on the Island of Cyprus on July 20, 1974, today Türkiye is the strongest bulwark against those who try to intimidate the TRNC and the Turkish Cypriot people.
Cevdet Yılmaz continued his speech as follows:
“The Israel/USA-Iran war, which started recently with the provocation of Israel in our region, has become a critical node in the energy, finance and geopolitical structure of the global order. In this process, the decisions taken by the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus, acting as if it were the owner of the entire island, increased the security risks to the island. We have actually seen some of the consequences of this together. The decisions taken by the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus, especially by ignoring the will and sovereign equality of the Turkish Cypriot people, and their sovereign equality, in great power rivalries. His approach to finding his own way, especially the military engagements he has undertaken on his own lately, and his search for alliances are the main factors that trigger this process.
I would like to declare once again from here; Any attitude that ignores the fact that TRNC is a sovereign and equal state on the island is null and void for the Republic of Türkiye. However, our Turkish Cypriot brothers should be comforted. No matter how armed the Greek side is, no matter how much it tries to open the island to the use of third countries, you will continue to live safely under your own flag as long as Türkiye exists. “No one should have any hesitation about this.”
In this context, 6 F-16 warplanes and Hisar Air Defense System were deployed in the TRNC on March 9, and the Turkish Navy increased its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean. Yılmaz said, “We know that some countries have deployed military forces in our region during this period, citing the so-called security concerns of the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus, and we follow it closely. The military elements deployed in the region should not be permanent in any way. Otherwise, the delicate balances that exist on the Island of Cyprus will be damaged.” he said.
Yılmaz underlined that all his efforts are to raise the living standards of the Turkish Cypriot people and to secure the future and prosperity of the TRNC forever, and wished that the 2026 Economic and Financial Cooperation Agreement signed would be beneficial.
WIN-WIN PRINCIPLE IS IN ACTION
In the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the occasion of Africa Day yesterday, the following statements were made: “We sincerely celebrate the 25 May Africa Day, which corresponds to the 63rd anniversary of the establishment of the African Union and symbolizes the spirit of peace, freedom, unity and solidarity of the African continent. Turkey, the strategic partner of the African Union, will always continue to support the African people in the development, justice and peace journey of the African continent, based on the principle of equal partnership, mutual trust and respect and win-win.”
ANKARA END THE WARS
Behind Türkiye’s African influence, which is accepted all over the world, lies a great diplomatic success:
President Erdoğan’s “The world is bigger than five” stance was widely accepted in Africa.
National defense industry products bring hope to countries in difficult situations.
With Ankara’s mediation, wars and crises in the region are being resolved.
Turkish embassies, which surround the world like a network, work very well.
Turkish Airlines’ wings spread all over the world.
Young people studying in our country return as Türkiye lovers.
The ties established are not political but heartfelt.
YEARS’ ACCUMULATION
Türkiye’s Opening Policy to Africa, which started in 2002, evolved into the Partnership Policy over time. To date, Türkiye has signed Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreements with 50 countries from Africa; Agreement on Mutual Promotion and Protection of Investments with 32 countries; Military Framework Agreement with 35 countries; Military Training Cooperation Agreement with 21 countries; Defense Industry Cooperation Agreement was signed with 29 countries.
AK Party Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made evaluations regarding the agenda: Mr. Özgür Özel follows a political style that exceeds his limits by constantly using disrespectful expressions against our President in order to cover up his own weaknesses and political inadequacies. Unfortunately, we saw that some people gathered at the CHP Headquarters used extremely wrong statements against the Presidency and our President. We respect political criticism and protest. Political criticism and political protest have a very important place in the maturity of our democracy. We always value political criticism, but we return all of his statements that go beyond political criticism and amount to political insults, targeting and political threats to Mr. Özgür Özel and some of the people who used these statements there. Any of the words they said cannot come close to our President. Those who say these words only have these words written next to their own names. Of course, we take a very respectful attitude towards political protests and political criticism, but when it comes to issues such as blackmail, threats, using excessive expressions, and insults, I say it very clearly; We never allow political tyranny or political banditry.
OUR PRESIDENT IS OUR RED LINE
We will also deal with those who use this style of threatening, blackmailing and insulting the Presidency, our party and our friends before the law. Look, the expressions used in the last 1-2 days are completely out of line. Türkiye’s democracy is mature. Türkiye’s regime and political life have gone through many crises and have come to this day. As a result of coming to this day, there is no crisis that cannot be overcome thanks to the great foresight and prudence of our great nation and thousands of years of experience of our state life, but instead, we do not let those who turn their political inadequacy into a political threat, blackmail and ugly style campaign against the head of the Republic of Turkey and our President, take even a step forward. I speak this clearly; Because what we will put before them is the clearest and most definitive legal and political struggle in the face of those who cannot solve their own problems and those who cannot demonstrate any political ability regarding their own issues, constantly targeting our President, our AK Party and the People’s Alliance in this manner. Our esteemed President is our red line. We do not allow anyone to touch this red line.
YOU ARE PUNCHING A JOURNALIST AND TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRACY!
You are punching journalists in the square. You are damaging your own headquarters. Then you talk about democracy. The leader of the struggle for democracy in Türkiye is our President. The will to keep the ballot box and the nation at the highest level in Türkiye has been carried forward under the leadership of our President. The place where the politician will speak is the podium, the party bus. What is a politician doing on TOMA? Our police brothers have come, they are there to ensure the safety of all our citizens and you. They work to fulfill the law and the court decision. Those who cannot be on the podium go on TOMA.
THE NATION FINDS THE WILL AGAINST THOSE WHO OVERCOME THEIR LIMITS
These are stale tutelage scenarios that try to use the message of the nation and the will of the ballot box for their own ideological obsessions and political ambitions. Everyone will know their place, everyone will know their place. Those who try to cross the borders always find the law and the will of the nation in front of them.
AK PARTY IS NOT ON ANY SIDE OF THIS INCIDENT
Two or three years ago, while speaking at a meeting of our party, at a congress, I said, ‘The CHP’s interior is more complicated than the Middle East.’ I have been unfair to the Middle East. CHP’s internal turmoil is so complicated that it leaves the Middle East far behind. We are not on any side of this incident, and we have no intention of being on any side.

The name confessor Yalçınkaya said “I can’t explain” turned out to be Müsavat Dervişoğlu
New striking details emerged in the investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on the allegation of “İmamoğlu profit-oriented criminal organization”. Businessman Sarp Yalçınkaya, who benefited from effective repentance provisions within the scope of the file, mentioned a high-level opposition party politician who was a reference to Murat Gülibrahimoğlu, the fugitive defendant of the IMM corruption file, and played a role in introducing him to Ekrem İmamoğlu’s circle.
CASTING NEGOTIATION
Yalçınkaya said that this politician brought together Gülibrahimoğlu and İmamoğlu’s childhood friend Hakan Karanis at the Defne Restaurant in Yaşam Vadisi in Beylikdüzü.

He stated that after this meeting, Gülibrahimoğlu received the necessary permissions from the Ministry and was subsequently given the excavation and casting works, but the process was not limited to that. Yalçınkaya stated, “After the agreement, the politician in question went to Gülibrahimoğlu and requested a “commission”. Murat opposed this request by saying, ‘I spent a lot of money for these works, I will not give a penny to anyone without deducting all my expenses.'” Yalçınkaya stated that the politician is an important name in the public opinion and said, “I will not name names for my life safety.” It turned out that this name, which Yalçınkaya did not write down in the minutes “because he was afraid”, was İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu and that this reference relationship was the key that started the entire tender network.

Harsh reaction from AK Party Ankara Provincial Chairman Özcan to Özgür Özel: Provocation is the last refuge of those who spew hatred instead of service
Hakan Han Özcan, who criticized CHP leader Özgür Özel and the party policy in his written statement, argued that the opposition was struggling with a lack of vision. Özcan used the following statements:
“Those who think they are doing politics by insulting our President in order to hide seat wars within their own party underestimate the patience of the nation, the dignity of the state and the red lines of Türkiye.”
“DIRTY LANGUAGE IS A DIRECT ATTACK ON THE NATION’S ELECTION”
Emphasizing that President Erdoğan represents the national will, Özcan continued his statement by touching on the developments in front of the parliament as follows:
“Everyone should know this; Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is the leader to whom this nation has entrusted its will many times. The dirty language that extends to that will is not only an attack on one person, but also a direct attack on the nation’s choice, the reputation of our state and Türkiye’s achievements. Street language and provocation are the last refuge of those who cannot put forward a single vision for the country, those who cannot produce projects, and those who spew hatred instead of service. The ugly slogans shouted in front of the Parliament yesterday are not a democratic right, but an expression of political collapse.”
“Türkiye IS RISING WITH ITS WORKS AND SERVICES POLITICS”
Drawing attention to the government’s action-oriented policy, AK Party Ankara Provincial Chairman stated that they trust the common sense of the nation and concluded his words as follows:
“Turkey rises on the shoulders of those who walk the road with the politics of work and service, not those who feed on chaos. Our nation clearly sees who represents the seriousness of the state and who is trying to divide society with the language of anger and hatred.”
