On 6 May 1991, a three-man
delegation of our Movement visited Mr.Atakol, the
Foreign Minister whose
department is responsible for giving the permissions.
We were asked once again to
make a statement that we are not coming from the
occupied areas when we meet
with our compatriots. Dr.Djavit, the T/C coordinator
of the Movement told Mr.Atakol that he accepts
the occupation as the reality.
Later Mr.Atakol reported
this incident to Mr. Denktash who wrote a letter to
the Commander of the
“Turkish Peace Forces”, telling him not to give ever
any permission to the T/C
coordinator and to theother three persons
accompanying him during that
visit. In the middle of May 1991, the T/C
Committee of the Movement
for an Independent and Federal Cyprus decided
to put a complaint against
the T/C authorities of the Republic of Cyprus by the
Human Rights Commission of
the European Council in Strasbourg. This application
made the T/C leadership furious which reacted
in the press against us.
