AKEL [/B]condemns the new provocations of the occupation regime and the statements of the so-called T/C "Prime Minister", Unal Ustel, about the opening of the entire occupied city of Famagusta and in particular the enclosed area, with the so-called "municipal elections" of 25 December 2022 as the timetable for implementation.
In a statement, it points out that "such statements provoke the international community and damage the authority and credibility of the UN, because they repeatedly and repeatedly flout United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions 550/1984 and 789/1992 in relation to Famagusta. They blatantly obstruct any effort to find a mutually acceptable, viable solution in accordance with UN resolutions and decisions."
"The Cypriot people expect the international community to finally become sensitive to the violation of international law and UNSC Resolutions. UN resolutions and UN Security Council resolutions by the Erdogan government and not to passively watch Turkey's aggressive and expansionist policy against the peoples of the region," AKEL notes.
It also points out that "the responsibilities of the Anastasiades-DISY government for the longest protracted deadlock in the history of the Cyprus problem and the achievements on the ground and against Famagusta that this has brought about are self-evident. So are the responsibilities of the two would-be successors of the Anastasiades-DISY government who interpreted as "fireworks" similar statements and actions of the Erdogan-Tatar duo in Varosha. The efforts of Mr. Anastasiades at the last minute of the end of his term of office to take an initiative by the EU for the resumption of the talks can only cause anger, considering the lost years that preceded it."
"The effort for the resumption of the talks can only be effective and have a positive result if Cyprus and the Greek Cypriot side regain credibility internationally."
"The effort for the resumption of the talks can only be effective and have a positive result if the credibility of Cyprus and the Greek Cypriot side is restored internationally. Something that can only be done with a sincere insistence on continuing the talks from where they were left with the convergences and the Guterres framework. And this can only be done by Andreas Mavroyiannis, if the people honour him with their vote for the Presidency of the Republic," AKEL concludes.
