In relation to today's article in the Turkish Cypriot press concerning the 146th Inter-Parliamentary Conference, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes the following:
Unfortunately, this incident is part of the broader effort of the Turkish Cypriot side to take advantage of every opportunity to serve its "plans" for the "legitimization" of the secessionist "entity" of the occupied territories.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was constantly in full coordination with the parliamentary delegation of the House of Representatives that participated in this Conference, as well as with the Embassy of the Republic in Abu Dhabi (with accreditation in Bahrain) to prevent any "efforts" of the Turkish Cypriot side to undermine the internationally recognized statehood of the Republic of Cyprus. Therefore, and following the coordinated actions of the Republic of Cyprus, the Government of Bahrain, as the host country of the Inter-Parliamentary Conference, intervened and prevented the aforementioned "attempts" of the Turkish Cypriot side.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes this opportunity to reiterate that such separatist "actions" do not assist the efforts of the Republic of Cyprus to resume negotiations to find a solution to the Cyprus problem within the agreed UN framework.
