President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen expressed her support for Cyprus and its reunification efforts on the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
In a post on her ‘X’ account, President von der Leyen emphasized that the Cyprus issue is a European one, adding that the European Commission will continue to firmly support Cyprus in its efforts to reunify the last divided EU member state, in line with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.
Specifically she expressed:
“Today, on this tragic 50th anniversary, and every day, we stand with Cyprus.
We stand in support of territorial integrity and sovereignty. Cypriots deserve to live in a reunited country in conditions of peace, co-existence, stability and prosperity.
The Cyprus question is a European one. We will continue to firmly support Cyprus in the efforts to reunify the last divided EU member state, in line with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.”
President von der Leyen’s statement comes at a time when talks on the Cyprus problem are restarting. During a recent meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Greek Prime Minister called for a resumption of UN-brokered bi-communal talks to address the long-standing issue.
