Wording referring to the need for all third countries to adopt measures against Russia was included in the conclusions of the European Council at the request of the President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades, while in his intervention in the discussion the President pointed out that the biggest gaps concern third countries such as Turkey, according to a written statement by Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos after the conclusion of the meeting.
As the Government Spokesman notes, President Anastasiades indicated that, given Turkey's occupation of a large part of Cyprus, "its circumvention of sanctions has a serious negative impact on all EU Member States and - to a very large extent - on Cyprus, proving once again that it is not interested in being a reliable partner for the European Union".
