Northern Cyprus rejects Greek PM claims

The article explains that officials from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus strongly respond to statements made by Greek Administration Prime Minister Nikos Christodoulides before the United Nations, in which he claimed that the island consists of "two peoples and two states." The Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister, Ünal Öğütşal, emphasized that the Turkish Cypriot people enjoy sovereignty, and that the political history of the island proves Greece seized the region in 1960 and oppressed the Turkish Cypriots. The government of Northern Cyprus also stresses that Turkey's support and President Erdoğan's backing will not allow Greece to alter the facts. Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Northern Cyprus condemned Christodoulides' remarks, describing them as a distortion of reality and an disregard for the will of the Turkish Cypriot people. They reaffirmed that resolving the conflict requires the international community to recognize the island's sovereign equality. Tensions between the two sides have persisted since 1974, with negotiations over union having been halted since 2017.
