“We demand that UN decisions be implemented,” says SYRIZA President
’51 years after the Turkish invasion of Cypruswe honor the memory of the fallen and stand on the side of the Cypriot people, “says SYRIZA-PS President, Socrates Famellos, In his message on social media.
The president of SYRIZA also states: “Europe and the international community cannot close their eyes into the possession and partition of Cyprus, in violation of international law and human rights.
We demand that UN decisions be implemented. And Europe is taking steps to illegally possession of a European country from Turkey.
The withdrawal of the troops and the resumption of discussions from where they stopped in 2017 is needed immediately, with the aim of creating a bi-zonal-law federation. And that is why essential initiatives of the Greek government are required.
Peace and justice are not only demands of the Cypriot people. It is the obligation of Europe, but also the demand of all progressive and democratic citizens and peoples all over the world. “
SYRIZA: The struggle for the end of the Occupation and for the reunification of Cyprus remains timely
“The struggle for the end of the Occupation and the reunification of Cyprus remains timely,” SYRIZA-PS said, adding: “SYRIZA-PS will continue to struggle to justify the struggles of the Cypriot people in order to put an end to this miserable regime.”
SYRIZA also states in his message: “Today is 51 years since the illegal Turkish invasion in July 1974 in Cyprus, which followed the junta of the Colonels. We do not forget what damage the betrayal of Cyprus did by the Greek far -right.
A crime, with a tragic report of thousands of dead, injured and missing and more than 200,000 refugees, led to the illegal occupation of 37% of Cyprus. We honor the memory of those who fought and lost their lives, we support the drama of the missing families.
We will not cease to support Cyprus’s request and claim for a fair and sustainable solution, under the decisions of the United Nations Security Council. The only basis for a solution is the bi -zonal, bi -communal federation, with a sovereignty, a citizenship and an international representation, with the abolition of guarantees and the withdrawal of occupation troops that will benefit both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
The international community, and in particular the European Union, cannot and should not close its eyes and avoid reference to the ongoing illegal Turkish occupation. “
