Dendias: No proposals are discussed outside of International Legality – Lukashenko copies Erdogan | Skai.gr

The proposals outside the framework of International Legality can not be discussed, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said after his meeting with his Cypriot counterpart, Nikos Christodoulidis. As he underlined, at the next Foreign Affairs Council, in December, Greece and Cyprus expect concrete measures for the Turkish challenges in Megalonisos.

“The Turkish and Turkish Cypriot sides insist on discussing a solution to the Cyprus problem outside the framework of the relevant Security Council Resolutions and International Legality,” Dendias stressed.

We stressed that the Foreign Minister will assist the Republic of Cyprus in its efforts to resume negotiations. To resolve the Cyprus issue on the basis of the Security Council Resolutions, on the basis of the European Acquis.

“Our vision remains an island united, free from occupation troops, free from anachronistic guarantees. We will continue to condemn the illegal Turkish actions ”

“Yesterday, both Nikos and I stressed to our European partners that the continuation of Turkish delinquency, which is contrary to the decisions of the European Council, can not go unanswered. At the next Foreign Affairs Council, in December, we expect concrete measures for this situation, based on the proposals of the High Representative and the European Commission, which we are waiting for very soon “, stressed Mr. Dendias.

As the Foreign Minister clarified, as I have repeatedly said, we do not have the slightest punitive attitude towards Turkey and, of course, we do not have the slightest punitive attitude towards Turkish society. We hope that one day Turkey will embrace international law, stop promoting a neo-Ottoman, revisionist agenda, stop having destabilizing dreams. Unfortunately, this day does not seem to be close yet. Especially when one is here in Nicosia, the last divided capital of Europe. From Nicosia this dream seems very distant.

“Greece and Cyprus are deeply committed to respecting and defending international law,” he stressed.

Turkey, Nikos Dendias noted, is trying to create new accomplishments on the ground in the besieged city of Famagusta, again violates the decisions of the UN Security Council, violates the sovereignty, the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus, with provocative and illegal actions.

The statements continue, but the occupation also continues. And also new violations are added and the last one, the instrumentalization of immigration.

“It happened in Evros last year, it is being copied recently by others in the periphery of Europe, who are also trying to blackmail the European Union,” he remarked meaningfully.
