🇬🇷🇨🇾🇹🇷 PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis published an announcement on the 51st anniversary of the Turkish invasion:
The dark anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus also triggers this year's memory of brutal violence, loss and uproar. However, it also strengthens the struggle for the reunification of the island in the context of a modern European state. Without occupation forces. And ready to be a lighthouse of stability and peace in the troubled seas of the Eastern Mediterranean.
The fair solution of the Cyprus problem requires international legality and 21st century culture. However, it is also imposed by the juncture especially in a troubled area. That is why the inter-community talks on the path of the UN Security Council decisions must gain a dynamic progress. A road that follow consistently and in complete collaboration of Athens and Nicosia.
The slogan "I don't forget", after all, remains timely. In Cyprus, with the constant and methodical effort to restore its sovereign rights. And in Greece, with the constant shielding of its defense and diplomatic power. The struggle for justification is common. And it will be victorious. As Europe wants it, the peoples of the world and history itself.
📢 @PoliticsGR Announcement:
Σήμερα είναι η 51η επέτειος της εισβολής της Τουρκίας στην Κύπρο, η οποία προκάλεσε τον εκτοπισμό 162.000 Ελληνοκυπρίων και έθεσε υπό παράνομη κατοχή το 36% του νησιού, η οποία συνεχίζεται και σήμερα. Η πολιτική ηγεσία της χώρας μας στο πλαίσιο καλλιέργειας της «ελληνο-τουρκικής φιλίας» έχει παραμελήσει το Κυπριακό ζήτημα και αφήνει την αδελφική χώρα στο έλεος του γείτονα. Με αφορμή το συμβάν θα ανεβεί ένας χάρτης κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας.
ΤΟΥΡΚΟΙ ΔΕ ΞΕΧΝΩ!
Today is the 51st anniversary of Turkey's invasion of Cyprus, which caused the displacement of 162,000 Greek Cypriots and placed 36% of the island under illegal occupation, which continues to this day. The political leadership of our country, in the context of cultivating "Greco-Turkish friendship", has neglected the Cyprus issue and is leaving the sisterly country at the mercy of its neighbour. On the occasion of the incident, a map will be uploaded during the day.
TURKS I DON'T FORGET!
