FM on anniversary of Turkish invasion of Cyprus
The Foreign Ministry in an announcement on Friday referred to the 33rd
anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
?Today are concluded 33 years since the day of the illegal Turkish
invasion of Cyprus. Thirty-three years of division and occupation of
more than one third of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus,
contrary to every meaning of law, without political or ethical basis.
In defiance of the times, a wall, the last in Europe, continues to
separate the Cypriot people, depriving them of the possibility of
co-existing peacefully in the European family,? a Foreign Ministry
press release said.
?Thirty-three years later, the Republic of Cyprus, member of the
European Union, proceeds with self-confidence in the building of a
better future for all of the islandâs inhabitants. The need for finding
a solution for the reunification of Cyprus is however imperative. A
just, viable and operational solution, based on the UN Security Council
resolutions and the principles and values of the European Union.
?The basis for us to be led to a well planned resumption of the effort
for reaching a solution exists. It is the agreement of July 8, 2006.
This basis can be implemented, providing the Turkish Cypriot side
adopts the necessary, constructive for it stance,? the press release
concluded.
