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 on Friday a letter to the heads of the national delegations to the CSCE.
Speaking at the Parliament, Mr. Tornaritis informed his counterparts about the latest provocative developments by the occupying authorities and Turkey, which proceeded to further open the Varosha beachfront.
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 it is trying to impose. Now is the time, he concludes, to prove that we do not act with double standards when it comes to respecting international law.
