The fact described in the text is that President Nikos Christodoulides announced a 14-point package of measures, which Serdar Denktash criticized as an “admission of guilt” for usurping human rights. Denktash suggested that the Turkish Cypriot side should present their own suggestions to UN Envoy Maria Angela Holguin and explain how their human rights were usurped. He also stated that it is not right to insist on a federation as a solution to the Cyprus problem and expressed support for changing the political system in the north from a parliamentary to a presidential system. Additionally, he mentioned that Ankara would support the Turkish Cypriot side if they reached an agreement among themselves.
