“We aim for a successful resolution of the Cyprus issue, knowing that it will be very beneficial not only for Cyprus, but also for the Eastern Mediterranean and the entire Europe,” stated Jozef Síkela, European Commissioner for International Partnerships, at the conclusion of the discussion late Wednesday in the European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg. The topic of the discussion was “51 years since the Turkish invasion of the Republic of Cyprus: condemnation of the ongoing Turkish occupation and support for the resumption of negotiations for a comprehensive solution in accordance with international law, UNSC resolutions, EU principles, and acquis.” The debate involved Members of the European Parliament who addressed Turkey’s impunity, the need for measures and pressure as Cyprus is facing division.
