Cairo - Arab Today
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias has stated that "Greece does not and will never accept the consequences of the Turkish invasion [in Cyprus]," which took place 42 years ago, Cyprus News Agency (CNA) reported on Wednesday.
"[Greece] has made it clear to all sides that the elimination of the anachronistic system of guarantees and the withdrawal of all Turkish occupation forces – which, as the recent events in Turkey confirmed, undermine rather than ensure constitutional order and democratic normalcy – are an integral part of the solution of the Cyprus Problem," read Kotzias's statement.
"A constant concern and chief pursuit of our foreign policy is the ending of the ongoing Turkish occupation, which assails not only the rights of the Greek Cypriot community, but also those of the Turkish Cypriot community," he added.
