Turkey[/B], in addition to its systematic policy of colonization of the occupied part of Cyprus, in recent years has been engaged in a "allotropic type of colonization" of the free areas through illegal immigrants, who are pushed by thousands from Turkey through the Green Line to the areas controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, making obvious its aims for demographic alteration of the country, but also for causing economic, social and political problems on our side.
This was stressed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Nouris in his address on Thursday evening at the inauguration of the new headquarters of the "Dikefalos Geriou" Association.
Mr. Nouris said that in the face of these threats, the Government continues unceasingly to condemn in every direction the illegal actions, which are contrary to international law and Security Council resolutions, stressing the need to reverse the Turkish actions, including the acts they are attempting in the closed town of Varosha and the instrumentalization of migrants.
The Minister said that despite the President's efforts for progress on the Cyprus problem and a return to talks, Turkey persists in escalating its provocative and aggressive behaviour, brazenly violating international law and the law of the sea, with its illegal actions directed against the sovereignty and sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus.
Addressing the President and members of the Association, he called on them to continue to play the role of a nucleus of national rallying of the youth and residents of the region. He expressed confidence that the Association will become a gathering center for the youth and families of the municipality, as well as members and friends of the bicephalus, will become a pole for the development of social and cultural life, as well as the preservation of our national cultural element and identity.
The Minister also assured that the Ministry actively supports the Associations and all organized groups that contribute to the formation of a better and more resilient society.
