With regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Speaker of Parliament pointed out that it is a matter of flagrant violation of the principles of international law and human rights, the same violations that Cyprus has been subjected to for forty-nine years, correlating this situation with what is happening in Cyprus as a result of the Turkish invasion and occupation.
