In addition the Party called on the Greek Cypriots to fight for a new Cyprus and finally declared that the Turkish Cypriots along with the people of Turkey shared the same interests.

    Speaking at the meeting Mr Mehmet Ali Talat, the leader of the RTP, stated that everyone must create a new Cyprus and that all the Turkish Cypriots will succeed in this by supporting the RTP. Mr Talat also stated that he has no problem with the forces that share the same views with his party, because, as he said: ^ÓWe have no struggle with our friends, with them together we will reach to our target^Ô.
