It is absurd that Turkey calls for an end to the war, ignoring its own invasion of Cyprus, Interior Minister says

Cyprus Minister of the Interior, Nicos Nouris, said on Sunday that it is absurd that Turkey calls on Russia and Ukraine to stop the war and contribute to world peace, while at the same time it ignores its own invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and the horror and brutality which this invasion left behind, as well as the ongoing crime against Cyprus.

He added that Turkey assumes the role of someone who will bring balance, continuing this absurd course, paralleling even its own demand to join the EU with Ukraine`s case.

And this when as a country candidate for EU membership and a NATO member state, it consciously chooses not to abide by the decisions and the responsibilities stemming by a series of agreements and commitments, he noted.
