Cautionary "Cuff" from those years were falling into the neck of Ankara threw Russia on the occasion of delusional statements Erdogan. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Loukasevits Russia, recalling that in Cyprus there is a legal state only and no other (!), Rejected the arguments of R. T. Erdogan said that "Only the UN resolutions, will allow reunification of Cyprus based on a bi-communal bi-zonal federation with a single sovereignty, citizenship and international legal personality "and that" statements Entogan is very hard. "
Impression caused in diplomatic circles that for the first time in many years the Russian Foreign Ministry was not confined to standard formulations, but, indirectly but clearly recalled the existence of the illegal pseudo-state occupation (relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council 541 of 1983 and 550 of 1984), Recalling that there are members of the international community "not to recognize any Cypriot state other than the Republic, to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Cyprus and not to facilitate and not to give in any way help the separatist formation in the north of the island of Cyprus. "
Scenes have been updated in Ankara, sources report from Moscow that "The Russian armed forces will not remain indifferent if it endangered the security of the Republic and have ways to make this clear!"
The position was left speechless by Moscow to Ankara believed that the development of good economic relations that Russia would "throw water into wine" with regard to Cyprus, but Russia came up to remind the refusal of the UN in arbitrary pseudo who erected the occupying forces in northern Cyprus.
As assured Mr. Loukasevits, "Russia as a permanent member of UNSC UN has provided and will continue to provide support to a just, lasting and universal settlement in the interests of all Cypriots, based on relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council, of the intra-high level agreements (for the years 1977 and 1979) and voluntary, without external pressure, consent of the Cypriot communities themselves. "
He added that even "for the first time in many years the fate of the Cyprus settlement is in the hands of the Cypriots, Greeks and Turks," but "sensitive material" of the ongoing Comprehensive material intercommunal talks in Cyprus should not be there pressure from outside, much more in these conditions, the negotiation process is proceeding extremely difficult, hence the key is to help the dialogue and not "trying to substitute the common interests of Cypriots in the interests of other parties."
The Russian Foreign Ministry reiterated its support for UN resolutions, said the official representative of Russian Foreign Minister Aleksandr Loukasevits, noting that "only this approach will allow the reunification of Cyprus based on a bi-communal bi-zonal federation with a single sovereignty, citizenship and international legal status. "
"It is obvious that Moscow wants to show clearly that Cyprus is under the high diplomatic and strategic protection" diplomatic sources believe the Russian capital.
The Russians were again in favor of a unitary state based on the standard "bi-zonal, bi-communal federation", which, remarkably enough, said the statements and the American minister, Hillary Clinton, which escaped from the Greek media, many of whom felt - felt that was written with the positions of Turkey.
Moscow has shown its determination to support the excellent relationship with the Republic. It's relations with the government Christofias - despite the political roots in the Soviet Union that he has - is not as good as it was with the late Tassos Papadopoulos (there are circles in Moscow that says Christofias has always been closer to London than in Moscow), but the size of Russian investments in Cyprus and the knowledge that any reunification under Turkish patronage will change throughout the strategic balance in Eastern Mediterranean at the expense of Russia, does not "fly to lift the sword."
One cause "freezing" of relations with the government Christofias is frustrating series of acquisition programs from Russia, such as rouketovolon Smerch, anti-tank missiles Kornet-E etc.
Also, Moscow is concerned by Gazprom, to acquire an active role in the energy "El Dorado" of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Russia has given the political unrest in Syria and risk exposure of the unique naval base in the Eastern Mediterranean, in no way wants to endanger their political achievements in Cyprus. For this reason, now says "this" and cuts the air Erdogan, as one dared to cut anyone else until now.
