"No decision was taken to open a new beach at the closed Varosha and the work done in the area concerns a series of improvement works for the benefit of those who use the beach, especially safety, on a beach that is already open for use." says the "suplex", which adds that "it is regrettable that the European Union, relying on incorrect information provided by the Greek side, uses as a political tool a regulation that aims to make people use the sea comfortably".
"The decisions we take in the framework of international law on the closed Varosha, which is the territory of the Tdvk, are not subject to the approval of the Greek side or the European Union. On the other hand, it is not acceptable that the EU Commission remains silent at the expense of the TC people in the face of the unilateral and escalating actions of the TC side in the Eastern Mediterranean," the statement concludes.
New beaches should be opened in Varosha, says 'parliament speaker' in occupied territories
The 'parliament speaker' in occupied territories, Zorlu Torre, considers it necessary to open new beaches in the fenced area of Famagusta, saying that some environmental regulations were made in the public areas in Varosha, while reiterating the claim that it is the territory of the pseudo-state.
According to the Press and Information Office, the TC press quoted Torre's statements to the Turkish Anatolia Agency's correspondent in the occupied territories where he also said that those who claim their properties in Varosha can appeal to the "real estate committee", where the claims should be examined quickly and further steps should be taken. "That place has remained dormant for quite some time. Therefore, it is necessary to open new beaches in the area and put them at the service of humanity," he added."
Referring to the Cyprus problem, Torre said that the solution of a federation has been discussed since he himself was young. Reiterating the Turkish position that Greek Cypriots did not give up the idea of union with Greece since 1960 and excluded Turkish Cypriots until 1974, Zorlu Torre said that Cyprus is currently divided in two. "In the south there is the sovereignty of the Greek Cypriots and in the north we have our independent Turkish state. Its name is tdvk. It is not possible to give up this independence. For 50 years our leaders have been discussing whether we can come under one federal roof with the Greek Cypriots. Turkey supported these talks. I was one of those who said that there could not be a federation with the Greek Cypriots. I was defending the tdvk. Right now we have no choice but to defend and consolidate tdvk," he said, referring to the pseudo-state.
The E/C, he argued, are the ones who rejected federation for 50 years, will not come close to a two-state agreement and will support a unitary state.
According to Torre, the importance of the pseudo-state in the changing global circumstances was highlighted, which is also indicated by the circumstances in the Eastern Mediterranean. They must defend, he added, their rights and interests in the "Blue Homeland" together with Turkey. "We have one and only guarantee, the motherland Turkey and the heroic Turkish army," he concluded.
