FM: Greece does not accept the fait accompli of the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus

“The unilateral declaration of the pseudo-state 41 years ago in the occupied territory of Cyprus constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and disregards the rules-based international order,” the Foreign Ministry said in an announcement on Friday.

It also added that “the United Nations Security Council, by virtue of its Resolutions 541/1983 and 550/1984, has explicitly condemned this action as illegal and invalid and has called upon all States to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and not to recognize, facilitate or in any way assist this secessionist entity. Greece does not accept the fait accompli of the Turkish invasion and occupation. In coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, Greece will contribute responsibly to finding a just, viable, functional and mutually acceptable solution, within the framework of the UN Security Council Resolutions and with full respect to the European acquis”.
