Ylva Johansson, European Commissioner for Home Affairs, has noted that Cyprus has taken significant steps in managing asylum applications, adding that there is a possibility of further EU support.
She was speaking during a meeting with House of Representatives President, Annita Demetriou, on Tuesday, in the context of a one-day visit she paid Cyprus.
Demetriou referred to the Cyprus problem and condemned increasing Turkish provocations, in particular as regards the fenced-off part of Turkish occupied Famagusta, known as Varosha, and underlined the Greek Cypriot side’s readiness for an immediate resumption of Cyprus talks, on the basis of international law, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and EU principles and values, a parliament press release says.
