This is another action on the part of Turkey and the occupying regime that proves their long-standing aims to put the occupied part of our homeland under full control of Turkey, Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos told the Cyprus News Agency, when asked to comment on the news from the occupied territories that the process of converting the operating status of the illegal Tympos airport, by transferring it to Turkey's internal lines, has begun.
The Spokesman referred to "an action that comes in the wake of the new illegal actions in the enclosed area of Famagusta and the signing of the economic cooperation protocol which was accompanied by opposition from a large part of Turkish Cypriots, as was the case with the rejection of the MoU proposed by our side".
Marios Pelekanos added that it is well known the actions that our side has taken throughout the previous period "in order to highlight the provocative attitude and behaviour of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership".
The Government Spokesman recalled that last week the President of the Republic sent letters in all directions, in particular to the UN Secretary General, the leaders of the guarantor powers and all European leaders, the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Parliament, in which he referred to the new illegal actions by the occupying regime and to the efforts our side is making to break the deadlock.
President Anastasiades, he continued, also gave a live briefing to his European counterparts last Tuesday, asking them to indicate to Turkey the importance of ending unilateral actions and provocations in general, as well as putting the Cyprus problem back on track for resolution."
"Once again we are facing the negative, intransigent and provocative behaviour of the other side" he said. Pelecanos said our side will continue its efforts "exhausting all available means until we achieve an end to the illegal actions of Turkey and the occupying regime on the territory or in the maritime area of the Republic of Cyprus and the resumption of the Cyprus problem on the path of resolution."
