The head of the Cypriot delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Nikos Tornaritis, in the framework of the Assembly's plenary session, addressed the President of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, Italy's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Benedetto Della Vedova, asking about the need to take measures against Turkey for refusing to follow the sanctions against Russia.
According to a statement of the Parliament, Mr. Tornaritis, highlighting the similarities between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Turkey's invasion of Cyprus in 1974, submitted a written question to the Italian Minister regarding the need to take decisive action against Council of Europe member states that are both NATO members and candidates for accession to the European Union, such as Turkey, which refuse to align themselves with the sanctions against Russia that have been collectively decided upon.
The work of the Extraordinary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on the Ukraine crisis began on Monday in Strasbourg.
