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.
