Tatar on 'Attack Scenarios' from Israel: 'Turkey is Our Guarantor'

Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar stated that Turkey is the guarantor of 'stability' in the region, commenting on reports in the Turkish press about a possible attack by Israel, along with Greece and the Republic of Cyprus, on the pseudo-state.

In statements to CNN Turk, Tatar claimed that the Turkish armed forces are a guarantee for the 'existence of two separate peoples and two separate democracies.' He also alleged that the Greek Cypriot side provides logistical support to Israel through various agreements.

Tatar emphasized the close relations of the pseudo-state with Turkey, saying that they receive all kinds of support from Ankara and that he consults with Turkey on all matters.
