22/07/24 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 19 July, on the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the spokesman for the European External Action Service said that “a forced division can never be a solution. Hope for a better future, a unified Cyprus, still exists”, he stressed in a press release. In his view, in the context of efforts led by the United Nations, “a genuine commitment is urgently needed by all concerned, including the two Cypriot communities, as well as in particular Türkiye, for a peaceful settlement on the basis of relevant UN Security Council resolutions”. “We need to join forces to reach a fair, comprehensive and viable settlement of the Cyprus problem”, he insisted, stressing that this was important for the stability and security of the Mediterranean.
