THE MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HAVE LIVED THE POSSESSION OF CYPRUS

The Cyprus Green Party condemns the provocative refusal of the Turkish occupying authorities to allow entry into the ghost city of Famagusta to MEPs, members of the Report Committee of the European Parliament.

The occupation authorities have banned the MEPs’ visit to the area of the city of Famagusta, which since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, has been kept closed without residents, blocked by heavily armed Turkish soldiers.
The Greek Cypriot refugees, residents in the occupied town of Famagusta sent to the European Parliament thousands of signatures calling for the Parliament’s intervention to allow for the return of the city to its rightful inhabitants. The Cyprus Green Party practically supported the efforts of Famagusta Municipality for the collection of the signatures.
The European Union must demand from, as an indication of goodwill, to allow the resettlement of the legitimate inhabitants of Famagusta in their beloved city.
