The Turkish Cypriots’ non-invite to this week’s summit of the Organisation of Turkic States “does not overshadow” the north’s role within the Turkic world , Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar said on Thursday.
On this point, he pointed to the “Budapest declaration”, signed by the heads of government of the six states in attendance – Hungary, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan – as well as OTS secretary-general Kubanychbek Omuraliev.
