Dopo 52 anni, la Turchia continua a occupare illegalmente il 37% della nostra patria, perpetuando uno dei più grandi crimini della storia europea dal dopoguerra.
Da 52 anni la Turchia si rifiuta di fornire risposte sulle persone scomparse, amplia gli insediamenti illegali, distrugge il nostro patrimonio religioso e culturale e priva tutti i ciprioti del diritto di vivere liberamente nella propria patria.
Le sue azioni costituiscono una flagrante violazione del diritto internazionale ed europeo, della Carta delle Nazioni Unite, della sovranità, dell'indipendenza e dell'integrità territoriale della Repubblica di Cipro, nonché delle libertà fondamentali e dei diritti umani di tutti i ciprioti.
52 anni dopo, la ferita è ancora aperta. Le sirene della tragedia continuano a suonare. Non dimentichiamo. Non scendiamo a compromessi. Non accettiamo il fatto compiuto.
La mancata soluzione non è una soluzione. Non ci rassegniamo alla divisione. Il nostro obiettivo è la fine dell'occupazione illegale, la liberazione e la riunificazione della nostra patria.
Guidati dalla memoria e dalla giustizia, continuiamo la nostra lotta per una soluzione sostenibile e funzionale, basata sulle risoluzioni delle Nazioni Unite, sui principi, sui valori, sul diritto e sull'acquis europeo.
Φτάνει. Yeter. Enough.

52 χρόνια μετά, η Τουρκία συνεχίζει να κατέχει παράνομα το 37% της πατρίδας μας, συντηρώντας ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα εγκλήματα της μεταπολεμικής ιστορίας της Ευρώπης.
Για 52 χρόνια αρνείται να δώσει απαντήσεις για την τύχη των αγνοουμένων, διευρύνει τον παράνομο εποικισμό, καταστρέφει τη θρησκευτική και πολιτιστική μας κληρονομιά και στερεί από όλους τους Κυπρίους το δικαίωμα να ζουν ελεύθερα στην πατρίδα τους.
Οι πράξεις της συνιστούν κατάφωρη παραβίαση του Διεθνούς και Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαίου, του Χάρτη των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, της κυριαρχίας, της ανεξαρτησίας και της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, καθώς και των θεμελιωδών ελευθεριών και ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων όλων των Κυπρίων.
52 χρόνια μετά, η πληγή παραμένει ανοιχτή. Οι σειρήνες της τραγωδίας εξακολουθούν να ηχούν. Δεν ξεχνούμε. Δεν συμβιβαζόμαστε. Δεν αποδεχόμαστε τα τετελεσμένα.
Η μη λύση δεν είναι λύση. Δεν συμβιβαζόμαστε με τη διχοτόμηση. Στόχος μας είναι ο τερματισμός της παράνομης κατοχής, η απελευθέρωση και η επανένωση της πατρίδας μας.
Με οδηγό τη μνήμη και το δίκαιο, συνεχίζουμε τον αγώνα μας για μια βιώσιμη και λειτουργική λύση, βασισμένη στα ψηφίσματα των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, στις αρχές, στις αξίες, στο δίκαιο και στο κεκτημένο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
Φτάνει. Yeter. Enough.
