Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that nobody shall make exploitation by using Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Anadolu News Agency reported.
Turkey is a guarantor country in Cyprus and it will continue to support Turkish Cypriots, however, it will not give credit for speculation, said Erdogan who spoke at his Justice & Development (AK) Party group meeting on Tuesday.

Cyprus is our national cause, and we will never give up this cause, said Erdogan, adding that they would continue to work with sensitivity to protect the interests of TRNC.
