statement by the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Anastasiades |
I consider the decision by
Turkey and the occupation regime to extend for use part of the beach front of
the fenced city of Famagusta, as an illegal act and a flagrant violation of international
law and the resolutions of the UN Security Council 550 (1984) and 789 (1992). The Republic of Cyprus has not
and will not be inactive. It has already protested against these violations
to the Security Council and its five Permanent Members, to the UN Secretary
General, to the heads of the Institutions of the European Union, to the
leaders of the EU member states, as well as to all international fora in
which the Republic of Cyprus participates. At the same time, Turkey and
the occupation regime are called on to comply with the decisions of the
Security Council and the UN resolutions, as well as with everything included
in the recent European Council Conclusions, thus terminating the unilateral
illegal acts, in order to allow a new initiative by the UN SG to take place
with the aim to find a permanent solution to the Cyprus problem, within the
framework of everything that has been agreed and are set out by a number of
resolutions of the UN and decisions by the UN SC, as well as within the framework
of the European principles and values. (RM/ΙΚ/II) |
