Turkey Rejects European Parliament Resolution on Cyprus, Calls Claims 'Null and Void'

Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a sharp rebuke to the European Parliament following the adoption of a resolution on Cyprus. The ministry declared that the resolution, which contained what it termed "baseless and irrational claims" against the Turkish Armed Forces, is entirely without legal standing.

Ankara expressed full support for the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus regarding the resolution. The Turkish ministry characterized the European Parliament's decision as a prime example of a biased and distorted approach, influenced by specific circles, particularly concerning the Cyprus issue.

The ministry voiced concern over the increasing departure of EU institutions from historical facts and impartiality in their approach to the Cyprus problem. This trend, it argued, further complicates efforts to find a resolution based on reality and fairness.

The resolution adopted by the European Parliament is seen by Turkey as a continuation of a pattern of biased engagement with the Cyprus issue, moving further away from objective considerations and historical context.
