The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus welcomes the UNSG’s expressed commitment to continue his efforts to resume the negotiation process for Cyprus, with the aim of achieving a viable and comprehensive solution, on the basis of the agreed framework and the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions. However, it expresses its disappointment with the longstanding tendency of the UN to maintain an equidistant approach, resulting to the inaccurate and selective depiction of the realities on the ground as these are caused by the Turkish occupation and the methodology followed by the occupying forces, undermining the effort for the creation of a climate of trust.
