The TRNC Foreign Ministry did not recognize the appointment of the EU special representative for Cyprus
The Foreign Ministry of the TRNC strongly criticized the appointment of European Commission Vice President Raffaele Fitto as the EU Special Representative for the Cyprus issue. The ministry said that this decision was made without the consent of the Turkish Cypriots and therefore has no force for them.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that by admitting the Greek administration of Southern Cyprus into its ranks in 2004, the European Union lost neutrality on the Cyprus issue and cannot act as an impartial participant in the settlement process.
The statement also says that any unilateral EU steps aimed at exerting pressure on Turkish Cypriots ahead of the upcoming informal talks will not produce results.
The ministry once again stated that a lasting solution to the Cyprus problem is possible only on the basis of sovereign equality and equal international status of the two sides of the island. Until the EU changes its position, its unilateral decisions will be considered invalid and will not be recognized by the TRNC authorities
