The Turkish parliament on Thursday passed a resolution regarding the 50th anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation.
In the resolution, the Turkish parliament said: “Northern Cyprus can no longer be delayed in taking its rightful place as an independent and sovereign member of the international community.”
“We call on the international community to end the inhumane isolation imposed on the Turkish Cypriot people and to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in the manner it deserves,” said the resolution passed in the Turkish parliament.
The resolution underlined that the Turkish Cypriot people, with the support of Türkiye, have been making sincere efforts towards a ‘fair, lasting, and sustainable solution.’
“However, despite the constructive role of the Turkish side in the negotiation process that has been ongoing for more than 50 years, no result has been achieved due to the uncompromising attitude of the Greek side,” said the resolution.
“While the Greek Cypriots have been rewarded with EU membership, the Turkish Cypriots have been subjected to unjust and inhumane isolation, restrictions, and embargoes” it added.
“The two-state solution policy is the only way to ensure stability and lasting peace in the Mediterranean region,” it said, adding: “The existence of two separate peoples and states on the island should no longer be ignored.”
“Türkiye will continue to be the guarantor of the freedom and prosperity of the Turkish Cypriots, fulfilling its responsibilities as a ‘guarantor state’ and ‘motherland’ with sensitivity, as it has done so far,” the resolution noted.
“The full support of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and the Republic of Türkiye for the TRNC will continue under all circumstances and without interruption,” it added.
