Here's the most recent lie.
Turkey would end the occupation of Cyprus?
November 16, 2010
The Government of the Republic of Cyprus “declares its opposition to partition of the island and a willingness to continue working hard to end the occupation by Turkey of the northern territories of the country.” This was stated by government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou, on the occasion of the anniversary of the proclamation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This state formation occurred in 1983 and is still not recognized by any state except Turkey, ITAR-TASS.
“The Republic of Cyprus expresses its desire to solve the Cyprus problem, to unify the country and its people in the bi-communal federation with political equality, with a single sovereignty, single citizenship and single international personality, as stipulated in UN resolutions”, - said Stefanos Stefanou.
He stressed that “the mere fact that the illegal regime in northern Cyprus arranges celebrations on the occasion of his self-proclamation, which involve the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community and other representatives of Turkey, indicates the absence of goodwill and genuine desire to reach a settlement by the Turkish Cypriot side.
Rallies and protests are held in the capital of the Republic of Cyprus and other major cities today on the occasion of the proclamation of the TRNC. At the same time festivities took place to the north of the dividing lines in which the chief guest was the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Cemil Cicek. The highlight of the program was a show of Turkish military aircrafts and naval units. The leader of the Turkish Cypriot community Dervis Eroglu said that “Cyprus is not an occupied land and the Turkish army is here to prevent the extermination of the Turkish Cypriots.”
Such a statement provoked a sharp reaction from Stefanos Stefanou: “The positions expressed by the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community and the repeated Turkish officials, the existence of the two republics on the island contrary to UN resolutions on Cyprus. Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus in 1974 and is illegally occupying 37% of the territory.”

Statements by the Government Spokesman
16/11/2010
“The festive celebrations for the illegal declaration of independence of the pseudostate, headed by the negotiator of the Turkish Cypriot community and the illegal presence of Turkish officials in these celebrations, show that the Turkish side lacks good will and does not persuade that it wants a solution”, the Government Spokesman Mr Stefanos Stefanou stated yesterday.
In statements to the press, at the Presidential Palace, Mr Stefanou said: “Today, 27 years have elapsed since the illegal declaration of independence of the pseudostate. This act constitutes the culmination of the secessionist and partitionist actions of Turkey and its efforts to legitimize the occupation and to fulfil its goal of creating two separate states on the island.
The international community not only refused to recognize the illegal formation, but with two resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, the 541 and 550, condemned it, considered the action legally invalid and called all countries not to recognize the so-called Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus.
The pseudostate has not been recognised by any country except, of course, Turkey. Turkey’s efforts, however, for the recognition of the pseudostate have not ended. Turkey continues to work and to plan carefully the upgrading of the pseudostate using as an alibi the lifting of the Turkish Cypriots from the so-called isolation. In addition, it tries to promote and to enforce its upgrading even through the proposal on the property issue submitted by the Turkish Cypriot side in the negotiations. This proposal aims to legitimize the pseudostate by presenting it as the legal owner of the properties of Turkish Cypriots, which allegedly has the right to exchange them with Greek Cypriot properties.
The festive celebrations for the illegal declaration of independence of the pseudostate, headed by the negotiator of the Turkish Cypriot community and the illegal presence of Turkish officials in these celebrations, show that the Turkish side lacks good will and does not persuade that it wants a solution. Turkey is obliged to reconsider its stance and to respect and to implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. It is also obliged to respect and to implement the resolutions on Cyprus and to cooperate for the achievement of a mutually agreed solution on the Cyprus problem.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the declaration of independence of the pseudostate we declare our opposition to partition and we reiterate our willingness to continue working for the termination of occupation and colonisation, for the solution of the Cyprus problem, for the reunification of our homeland and its people, in the framework of a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality, as described by the UN resolutions for a state with a single sovereignty, a single citizenship, and a single international personality; for a solution, which will safeguard the human rights and the fundamental freedoms of our people; for a solution, which will make the people the real master of our country”.
Invited to comment on the statements by the Turkish Cypriot leader Mr Dervis Eroglu about the existence of two states, two peoples and two Republics in Cyprus, but also that there are no Greek Cypriot areas under occupation, Mr Stefanou said: “The statements by Mr Eroglu today prove once again what we have stated in our condemnation of the pseudostate’s illegal declaration of independence. It shows that the Turkish side lacks good will and does not persuade that it wants a solution. These statements, which Mr Eroglu repeatedly expresses and the Turkish leadership officials repeat about the existence of two peoples and two Republics in Cyprus, contradict with the UN resolutions and with the decisions of other international organizations, including the EU itself, which Turkey aspires to join. The statements also contradict with Turkey’s declarations that it wants a solution to the Cyprus problem soon. A solution to the Cyprus issue cannot be found with partitionist ideas and positions that do not comply with the UN resolutions. Concerning the occupation, it exists and it is recorded in resolutions and decisions. Turkey illegally invaded in Cyprus in 1974 and illegally occupies 37% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus”.
Invited to comment on information that the UN Secretary-General will welcome the proposals of both sides on the property issue and asked whether our side is concerned about this, Mr Stefanou said: “A lot has been said, in public, about the meeting in New York, but in the framework of the Informal Leaders’ Council, the President of the Republic briefed, discussed and consulted with the party leaders. Allow me to refrain from commenting further because, in view of the meeting, we will have to give the opportunity to the President to go to New York powerful and ready, and he is powerful and ready to go to New York, to defend the case of Cyprus and to ensure that in the framework of the UN resolutions we will be able to continue the efforts for the solution of the Cyprus problem. It is not wise now, on the basis of the information also, to comment on anything” the Government Spokesman concluded.

No, the "TRNC" has not been around for any number of years. And, if there was "no solution in sight" you'd better start packing and inflating that life-jacket you keep under your bed.
