/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Before returning to Ankara yesterday, after a two
day official visit to Northern Cyprus, newly elected Turkish President
Abdullah Gul delivered a speech in the Northern Cypriot Parliament,
responding to a recent declaration by Southern Cypriot leader Tasos
Papadopoulos in which he characterized the Turkish armed forces as the
"greatest enemy."
Gul noted yesterday that the presence of the Turkish armed forces on
the island mean peace and serenity for both the Turkish and Greek
sides. Gul also warned that neither Turkey nor its military would
accept "inappropriate declarations" that target their forces, Hurriyet
reports.
