Turkije
30-12-2025
Turkey remains committed to finding a political settlement of the Cyprus issue and
has clearly
demonstrated its resolve in this regard. Accordingly, Turkey supports the ongoing
UN negotiating process
and the constructive attitude of the Turkish Cypriot side towards achieving a comprehensive
settlement.
The commitment of the Turkish side to the settlement aim is also confirmed by the
UN.
Pending a comprehensive settlement, the position of Turkey on Cyprus will remain unchanged:
There is no single authority which in law or in fact is competent to represent jointly
the Turkish Cypriots
and the Greek Cypriots, consequently Cyprus as a whole. Turkey will thus continue
to regard the Greek
Cypriot authorities as exercising authority, control and jurisdiction only in the
territory south of the buffer
zone, as is currently the case, as not representing the Turkish Cypriot people and
will treat the acts
performed by them accordingly. In view of the above, Turkey's adherence to The International
Convention for the Regulation of Whaling and its Protocol should in no way be construed
as the recognition of the so-called ‘Republic of Cyprus’ by Turkey nor should it imply
any obligation on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the so-called
Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the International Convention for the Regulation
of Whaling and its Protocol Activities.
