The International Coordinating Committee ‘Justice for Cyprus’ has called for the immediate implementation of United Nations resolutions on the withdrawal of Turkish troops, the return of Famagusta and the reunification of Cyprus, in a letter addressed to the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides.
The Greek Cypriots of the Diaspora congratulated the Cypriot government, saying it had ‘proved to the world that Cyprus is not a problem, but rather a solution for the European Union and, in particular, a solution for America.’
The letter states that Americans are celebrating the signing of the 3+1 agreement, while the European Union, through ‘Amalthea,’ has recognized the value of Cyprus and its role as the ‘golden bridge to the troubled Middle East.’
The Committee said that, after ’52 years of endless, fruitless negotiations,’ the time has come to demand justice for the ‘illegal invasion of July 20, 1974’ and the immediate implementation of UN resolutions calling for the withdrawal of Turkish troops and the reunification of the island as a ‘true Republic’ and member of the European Union.
‘The solution and value of the Republic of Cyprus has been found. It is time to deal with the 52-year illegal occupation,’ is mentioned.
It also called for the immediate return of Famagusta, as prescribed by UN resolutions, and for Turkey to be held accountable for turning the occupied area into a ‘puppet state,’ importing illegal migrants, changing the demographics and transforming the illegal entity of the ‘trnc’ into a ‘money laundering machine’ and a ‘terrorist state’ that violates international law.
According to the Committee, the value of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union and the United States can only be preserved through recognition that ‘the problem was and still is an illegal invasion and an illegal occupation.’
The Greek Cypriots of the Diaspora, who according to the letter number 500,000 worldwide, said they stood united in support of the policy that ‘Cyprus is a solution, not a problem.’
They further argued that ‘the real problem in NATO and the Western world is Turkey,’ which continues to occupy 36% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, territory that forms part of the European Union.
‘The real value of Cyprus can be measured by solving the 52-year problem created by Turkey,’ is mentioned.
On the occasion of the annual conference, the Committee reaffirmed its commitment to ending the occupation of 36% of the Republic of Cyprus.
‘The work goes on, the hope endures, and the dream of a free united Cyprus will never die,’ the letter concluded. The letter was signed by Philip Christopher.
