The Parliamentary Representative of the Democratic Rally and Head of the Cyprus Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Nikos Tornaritis, sent today a letter to the Heads of the National Delegations to the PACE.
Tornaritis informed his counterparts of the latest provocative developments on the part of the Occupation Authorities and Turkey, where they proceeded to further open the coastal front in Varosha.
In his letter, Mr. Tornaritis demonstrates Turkey's renewed attempt to create a new fait accompli in the enclosed town of Varosha and underlines that this is in violation of United Nations Council Resolutions 550 (1984) and 789 (1992).
Mr.Tornaritis, inter alia, raises in his letter the question whether the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus are less important than those of other member states of the Council of Europe.
Finally, Mr. Tornaritis calls on all Heads of National Delegations to exert their influence on Turkey, with the ultimate aim of avoiding the new fait accompli which it is trying to impose. Now is the time, he concludes, to prove that we do not act with two weights and measures when it comes to respecting international law.
