Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has expressed hope that the two communities in Cyprus will take advantage of the new opportunity presented and sit at the table to find a solution of the Cyprus problem within the framework of the UN resolutions.
He referred to the 50th anniversary of the 20th July operation , in his weekly social media address on Sunday.
Mitsotakis pointed out that Cyprus’s continued partition is “unthinkable” and expressed his hope that the island will finally be reunified.
“As I told President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan during our recent meeting in Washington, it is unthinkable that Cyprus, an EU member state, remains divided fifty years after the tragedy of 1974,” he said.
“Our wish and hope is that the two communities will take advantage of the new opportunity presented and sit at the table to find a solution within the framework of UN resolutions, under the non-negotiable condition that any potential agreement will recognize one sovereignty, one citizenship and one international personality. In this effort, our Cypriot brothers have the support and backing of Greece,” he added.
