Rector of the Istanbul University Kemal Alemdaroglu called Turkey's representatives at the negotiations held in Switzerland on the Cyprian issue not to cede a single inch of land to the Greek. In his words, as reported by NTVMSNBC Turkish online newspaper, if necessary "Turkey is ready to sacrifice 135 thousand of lives - instead of 35 thousand victims given for Cyprus 37 years ago - to conquer not only Cyprus but Greece as well".
