President says decision on EU’s options paper on Turkey will show need for justice to prevail

EU will examine its options on Turkish occupied Varosha next Monday and it is then that the common consensus will be shown as regards the need for the international law and the law of the sea to prevail, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has said.

He was replying to questions by the press in Madrid on Thursday where he wrapped up a visit and had meetings with the Prime Minister and the King of Spain.

President said that he briefed the Premier Pedro Sanchez on the Cyprus issue, Turkey`s unjust and unacceptable actions in the sea and on the ground related to provocations in Varosha and the militarisation of the occupied areas on the island and its provocative acts in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus, a presidency press release says.
