Cyprus calls on UN to cease contact with occupiers

The setting of the appointment date for negotiations to resolve the current crisis in Cyprus lies exclusively under the jurisdiction of the President said the official representative of the Government of Cyprus Christos Stylianidis, commenting on the publication date of the appointment of the negotiations.

Media began writing on this topic after a meeting between the special adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Cyprus, Alexander Downer, and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu and others in the occupied territories.

The Cypriot government has demanded that Downer cease contact with the occupied territories of Cyprus.

Cyprus has been divided between Greek and Turkish communities since 1974.

The southern part of the island is controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus.

The north of Cyprus Turkish is occupied by Turkish troops. In 1983, the area was proclaimed the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which is recognized only by Turkey.
