KKE MEPs comment on Turkey's stance

Turkey’s aggressiveness on the Cyprus issue and “the dangerous attitude of disputing the Cypriot EEZ constitutes a challenge against the Cypriot people,” and acts in the direction of perpetuating the results of the Turkish invasion and occupation, leads to intensification of rivalries in the region and poses risks, Communist Party of Greece (KKE) European Parliament deputies said in a statement.

"The stance of the EU on the issue proves those who presented it as a supposed protector of the Cypriot people wrong," it added.
“It also refutes the celebrations that the finding of natural gas would be a ‘tool’ for the solution of the Cyprus issue. On the contrary, escalated rivalries complicate the problem,” the statement noted.

KKE called on workers to condemn the Turkish provocation, express their solidarity with the Cypriot people, and demand a solution for a united, independent Cyprus with a single sovereignty, citizenship and international identity, without foreign bases and troops, without foreign guarantors and protectors.
