“The Cyprus issue remains an international issue of illegal invasion and occupation just like the Ukrainian issue” emphasizes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
“The unacceptable claims of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership make it impossible to carry out meaningful and effective negotiations in the agreed framework of the United Nations,” says in a statement the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the black anniversary of the Turkish invasion of 20 July 1974 in Cyprus.
“The Cyprus issue remains an international issue of illegal invasion and occupation such as Ukrainian» emphasizes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in detail
“Today’s black anniversary for the 48th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, 1974 and the continuation of the illegal occupation of more than a third of the island by Turkish troops, is a reminder to the international community of the flagrant violation of International Law and the Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council by Turkey.
The Cyprus issue remains an international issue of illegal invasion and occupation, just like the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine in recent months.
Greece, in absolute coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, works with dedication to the fundamental principles of International Law, to the national goal which was and remains the finding of an agreed, just and sustainable solution to the Cyprus Issue, with the evolution of the Republic of Cyprus into a Bi-communal Bizon Federation, within the framework defined by the relevant United Nations Resolutions.
Unfortunately, the unacceptable claims of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership make it impossible to carry out meaningful and effective negotiations in the agreed framework of the United Nations, while its illegal actions in Varosia also move in a direction opposite to that mandated by the International Community.
Until final success, Greece will remain steadfastly committed to finding a just, functional and sustainable solution to the Cyprus problem, which will ensure the sole sovereignty of Cyprus by applying the European acquis to the entire Cypriot territory.
Solution, which, in addition, will free the people of Cyprus from the anachronistic system of Guarantees and third-party intervention rights in their affairs and will ensure the complete withdrawal of the illegal occupying troops”.
