The unilateral declaration of the Pseudo-state in the occupied territory of Cyprus has been explicitly condemned by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 541/1983 and 550/1984.

Turkey’s unacceptable claim for a so-called “two-state solution” undermines any effort to resume negotiations for the settlement of the Cyprus issue within the framework of UNSC Resolutions.

Thirty-nine years after the illegal and condemned declaration of the pseudo-state, no state accepts or recognizes any legal or international status of this entity.

This was recently confirmed at the Summit of the Organization of Turkic States, where Turkey was forced to accept the downgrading of the pseudo-state’s participation in that Organization to the status of “entity”.

Our aim is the achievement of an agreed solution on the basis of the UN Security Council Resolutions and the European acquis.
