Violating Varosha’s status would destroy hopes for possible resumption of settlement talks, Cyprus President says
The President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades expressed hope that a violation of the special status of Varosha, the fenced off part of Turkish-occupied Famagusta, that would destroy all hopes for a possible resumption of Cyprus settlement talks, will be avoided.
Speaking on Thursday evening at the anti-occupation rally organized by Famagusta Municipality, in Deryneia, President Anastasiades also said that Cyprus’ decisiveness to engage in new talks does not alter the fact that Turkey should terminate the expansionist policy it pursues, in violation of the UN Charter and the Law of the Sea.
Referring to Varosha, the President called on the Turkish side to abandon all threats to either bring in settlers to Famagusta, exploit in part or usurp the fenced off part of the city.
