At the energy meeting held at the Presidency, Yılmaz said they discussed the electricity issues in Northern Cyprus, which also greatly affect the public’s economy. He emphasised that they are committed to bringing electricity through cables, though the project is complex and may take time. However, he assured that they would complete the work and take steps as soon as possible.
Yılmaz explained that they discussed plans for the short, medium, and long term and will present an action plan for electricity. He also reassured, “We stand by the Turkish Cypriots with all the resources we have“.
He added that the issue must be approached as a whole, covering production, transmission, and distribution systems. On the topic of connecting via cables, Yılmaz stressed that the rational and cost-effective solution is integrating Cyprus as a whole with Europe through Turkey. “This is the right approach, and there’s no point in looking for other options for political reasons“.
Yılmaz reiterated that these projects are complex and may take time but confirmed they are committed to the cable electricity project. “We’ll complete the work and take steps as soon as possible“, he said.
Yılmaz also underlined that it’s not right to look at the energy issue through just one project, mentioning that natural gas, thermal, and renewable energy all need to be considered together. They highlighted the importance of using energy efficiently.
On political matters, Yılmaz praised President Ersin Tatar for his fair stance, stating, “We know that it makes no sense to keep trying approaches that have been tried for years and haven’t worked“.
He concluded that any solution must recognise the reality of two states in Cyprus. “President Tatar expresses all of this very well, and we support his views“.
