TRNC Prime Minister Irsen Kucuk said the continuation of intolerance among Greek Cypriots was a sign that an agreement was still far away referring to the attempt to burn Turkish flag.
Speaking to press members on Sunday, Kucuk said Greek Cypriots should improve their relations with Turkey and TRNC in order to get rid of from economic crisis.
He said there might be a slight impact but they did not expect the crisis would affect TRNC, adding that there was a strong banking system and sound economy in TRNC.
Kucuk said hydrocarbon reserves off Cyprus and the Turkish Cyprus Water Supply Project were important economic developments and in order to benefit from those projects mutually, there first should be peace and agreement. "South should reconsider its attitude and improve its relations with us and with Turkey" stated Kucuk.
