The reunification of Cyprus is the only acceptable solution, according to international law and the European principles and values, Ambassador of Portugal in Cyprus Vanda Maria Dias Stelzer Sequeira stressed on Wednesday during a meeting with President of the House of Representatives Annita Demetriou.
According to a press release by the Parliament, during the meeting they reaffirmed the very good relations between the two states and expressed the will to further enhance relations, especially on the parliamentarian level.
Demetriou said that Turkey’s position for a solution of “two states” in Cyprus will never be accepted and has been rejected by the international community.
Referring to the war in Ukraine, she said that despite the fact that the international community has not shown the same sensitivity in the case of Cyprus, which is under Turkish occupation for 48 years, the Greek Cypriot side remains committed in international law and the resumption of the Cyprus talks based on the agreed UN framework for the reunification of the island.
She also referred to Turkey’s provocations in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone and in the fenced off area of Famagusta.
The Portuguese Ambassador underlined that her country stands by Cyprus on the basis of principles and is very supportive in the efforts to reunify the country which constitutes the sole acceptable solution based on international law and the European values and principles.
