According to a press release by MEP Costas Mavridis, the Cypriot MEPs inform the Commission about Turkey's new provocative violations on the Varosha coastal front in Varosha and call on the Commission to take similar measures as in other cases of violation of international law, so that Turkey complies with international law and UN resolutions.
Specifically, in their question, the Cypriot MEPs state that "by once again flouting UN resolutions, Security Council resolutions and international law in general, and attempting to create a fait accompli, Turkey and its illegal regime in the occupied territory of Cyprus, are continuing work in the Famagusta area, in yet another provocative action, with the demolition of buildings and the bulldozing of a new part of the Varosha seafront".
Recall that the occupation authorities opened part of the walled city of Famagusta in October 2020 and proceeded to create organised beaches in Agios Memnonas and Golden Beach. Despite the opposition, on November 15, 2020, Turkish President, Tayyip Erdogan had visited the Golden Beach, the press release noted.
"Since Turkey has continued its illegal and provocative actions in Famagusta for three years, what immediate and effective action will the Commission take to ensure that Turkey complies with the relevant UN resolutions and international law?" the press release concludes.
