By a six -point letter to the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos ChristodoulidesTurkish Cypriots seek to move legally against Turkey For demographic alteration in occupiedinviting him to ask him UN to conduct an inventory in the northern part of Cyprus.

According to the “Liberal”, the performance of the letter, signed by the Cypriot movement for peace and solidarity, on the eve of the informal conference in New York, is also of political significance as much of the Turkish Cypriot leadership is removed. At the same time, the Turkish position on the protection of Turkish Cypriots is being rejected, as the Turkish Cypriots themselves are turning to the Republic of Cyprus asking her to protect them from Ankara.

The main reference point in the letter is the systematic, by Turkey, alteration of the demographic nature of the occupied, which they themselves consider to be “an obstacle to the resolution of the Cyprus problem”.

They even talk about ethnic cleansing by Turkey in the northern part of Cyprus: “Turkey, which intervened militarily on the island under the pretext of” guaranteeing responsibility “for the protection of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and has remedied its constitution, The island on two borders, has looted the property of the Greek Cypriots and, in violation of the 1949 Geneva contracts, has transferred populations to the island, disrupting the demographic structure and establishing an autonomist, political regime-marioner faithful to itself. “

Ankara, as the Turkish Cypriots themselves say, in an attempt to maintain the “political regime it established” changed the demographic structure “with the policies of occupation and settlement of the northern part of Cyprus” and “usurped the political will of the Turkish Cypriots”.

Through evidence: “In the last elections of the European Parliament, the number of Turkish Cypriot voters who were citizens of the Republic of Cyprus and had the right to vote was 103,000, while in July 2025, authorities in the north announced that the number of voters was 216,000.”

And turning to President Christodoulides, they say that after the October “elections” on the table on the talks, Turkey, not the Turkish Cypriots, will be represented.

The five requests of Turkish Cypriots

Appeal to The Hague: “We ask that, as a Republic of Cyprus, you raise the issue of systematically transporting population from Turkey to the northern part of our island in violation of the 1949 Geneva contracts and the change of demographic structure, the European Union, the United Nations and the Council of Europe, and you are filed with the Court of Justice.”

Population Inventory by the UN: “We urge you to formally ask the United Nations to conduct a population census in the occupied northern part of Cyprus under the supervision of international observers. This inventory must be designed and carefully implemented to accurately determine the actual number of Turkish Cypriots who are citizens of the Republic of Cyprus and, most importantly, to definitively identify the number and identity of illegal settlers. This demographic initiative should not only be considered an academic exercise. It is essential for a healthy assessment of the situation and maintaining the demographic integrity of our island. “

Systematic colonization: “We believe that the political transfer of a population imposed by Turkey is a violation of the political will of Turkish Cypriots and a lack of respect for democracy and human rights. The possession of Northern Cyprus by Turkey and its designation as a subordinate to Turkey by the European Court of Human Rights has made the intervention of Turkish military and political bureaucrats in the “elections” regular phenomenon in every election period. “

They also note that in such a political environment it is not possible to hold healthy elections and are calling on the PDD to take action to ensure that it is “healthy ‘elections in northern Cyprus, organized and controlled by the United Nations”.

Separate, colonial policy: “We are further asking you to take action to end this dangerous electoral game, which serves Turkey’s secession, colonial policy and neutralizes the political leadership of the Turkish Cypriots. As long as the illegal settlers continue to participate in the elections and usurp the will of the Turkish Cypriots, it is in Turkey’s interest not to dispute the results of the elections in the occupied part of our country. “

Doubtful of the result: “We ask you to question the results of these deceitful elections in order to protect the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus and to guarantee the democratic rights of its citizens. Such a political stance will overcome the impasse in talks for resolving the Cyprus problem and prevent the transportation of populations. “
