Complaint about the Turkish violations of the national airspace and sea space of the Republic of Cyprus, which took place from September to December 2021, sent to the General UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is the Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the UN, Ambassador Andreas Hadjichrysanthou.
The letter, although dated April 13, 2022, was released on Tuesday, April 26, as an official document of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly.
The violations concern the national airspace of Cyprus, the violations of the international air traffic regulations in the flight information area of Cyprus, the violations of the territorial waters of Cyprus and the illegal use of closed ports and airports of Cyprus, by the air and naval forces of Turkey. ,
“In short, 470 air and 27 naval violations were observed during this four-month period. It should be noted that 140 of the 470 air traffic violations involved the use of Turkish military drones “, it is reported.
“As for the land, Turkey's aggressive behavior continues unabated, based on the presence of its occupying army and the strong militarization of the occupied areas of Cyprus, through the continuous upgrading of its military infrastructure, such as the military drone base in Lefkonikos and the navy. based in Bogazi “, notes Mr. Hadjichrysanthou in the letter.
He added that “restrictions on the movement of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus continue to be imposed, while the separatist regime publicly threatens to remove the presence of the United Nations peacekeeping operation from the occupied territories.”
“Completely ignoring the Security Council's call on the Turkish side to stop and reverse the violations of the status quo in Varos, the illegal alteration of the region remains high on the agenda of the occupying power and the existing local government, which declare publicly that they will exploit the area financially for their own benefit “, he states.
According to the Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the UN, “Turkey's destabilizing actions in the region are accompanied by aggressive rhetoric, usually with false accusations against the very goals of Turkish aggressive behavior, false arguments against the Security Council resolutions, which are described by Turkey as outdated simply because they do not meet the Turkish demands for a “two state solution” and calls on the “international community to face the realities on the ground”.
It is obvious, he notes, “that according to Turkey, the so-called & # 8220; realities on the ground & # 8221; is in fact the situation created by Turkey itself in Cyprus through the use of force, in violation of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter and the ongoing military occupation of one third of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus. Turkey urges the international community to recognize the changes that result from aggression, in line with the inactive doctrine of the & # 8220; right of conquest & # 8221 ;, and openly states that it will continue to violate Security Council resolutions, completely ignoring for Article 25 of the Charter “.
” Essentially, Turkey seems to want the world to travel back to the pre-United Nations era, when the Ottoman and other empires they ruled the world, “he says.
The Security Council requested that in addition to the International Atomic Energy Agency's ongoing inspections in Iran, that it monitor Iran's compliance with “the steps required by the IAEA Board”. Otherwise, we risk undermining the credibility of the international system. “Turkey's actions since 1974 are a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Cyprus.”
“The sovereignty and territorial integrity of a United Nations Member State shall be protected and safeguarded by the Charter of the United Nations. “Turkey's actions show blatant contempt for international law,” the letter concludes.
