(Kathimerini) Greece has expressed strong concern over Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s remarks on his envisioned future of Cyprus during a visit to the Turkish-occupied north of Cyprus on Saturday, warning that any unilateral move to alter the status of the region undermines ongoing peace efforts.
“At a time when a significant effort is being made by the UN secretary general on the Cyprus problem, with the resumption of the informal talks and the appointment of Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar as personal envoy, any action to create a fait accompli in the occupied territories is an extremely negative development,” Greek diplomatic sources noted on Sunday, swiftly responding to Erdogan’s statements.
