[PIO] Announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Informal Summit of the Organization of Turkic-speaking States

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs unequivocally condemns Turkish efforts to promote the secessionist entity in violation of international legitimacy.

As part of Ankara's efforts, officials of the pseudo-state were invited by Azerbaijan to the Informal Summit of the Organization of Turkic-speaking States (OCT) in Susa. The Organization of Turkic-speaking States is once again being used by Ankara as a means to promote the pseudo-state.

The Republic of Cyprus is taking all necessary steps, demanding due respect for its sovereignty, territorial integrity and the Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

We further express our strong disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding the participation of Hungarian Senior Hungarian Officials in the Informal Session of the UNSC.

The above participation is a serious lapse, for which all due representations are being made at all levels.

We expect that all our European partners, including the Member State that just five days ago assumed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU), will fully respect the relevant UN Resolutions on Cyprus, International Law and the obligations arising from their status as EU Member States.

We expect each Member State to show due solidarity, responsibility and practical support on an issue of key and vital importance for the Republic of Cyprus, but also for the EU itself, and to act on the basis of the relevant European Council Conclusions.
