House: no guarantees and no guarantors for the Republic of Cyprus

February 19, 2010

The House of Representatives has stressed that Cyprus, just like any other EU member state, must not have either guarantors or rights of intervention by outside powers.

In a resolution approved unanimously during Thursday’s plenary session, the House expresses support for the restoration of the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and unity of the Republic of Cyprus.

“In the united Republic of Cyprus, member state of the EU, there should not be provisions for guarantors or guarantees”, the House resolution says.

The House underlines that the chapter on security – guarantees is a significant issue for the people of Cyprus and a fundamental matter in the efforts to reach a solution to the Cyprus issue.

“The arbitrary interpretation of the Treaty of Guarantee by Turkey, to justify the illegal Turkish invasion of 1974 and the continuing occupation of 36.4% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus constitute a violation of international law”, the resolution points out, adding that the House “unanimously condemns the arbitrary interpretation of the Treaty of Guarantee by Turkey to attribute legality to the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the continuing occupation of part of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus”.

It also condemns the “flagrant violations of the fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of Cypriot citizens” and calls on “Turkey to respect and immediately restore the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as the human rights of all Cypriot citizens”.

In this way, the House resolution notes that “Turkey will be able to practically show its contribution in achieving a just and viable solution to the Cyprus issue, as well as its respect and dedication to international law and all the more to the principles and values of the EU, which it aspires to become a member”.

you forgot to mention when talat mistakenly thought a democracy is run like the make believe democracy in turkey, calling people to interfere with parliament...

Meanwhile, government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou confirmed press reports that Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat had called both President Christofias and opposition Disy leader Nicos Anastassiades asking them to intervene so that the bill would not be approved.

Sorry mate, but an awful lot of right-thinking people couldn't give a tiss if Turkey accepts this or not.

It's basic principles and rights. Any settlement must have these as a basis.

It's the sovereign right of all nations not to have such scabby, make it up as we go along to suit Turkey, "guarantees".

Turkey and those tissies who want crappy, guaranteed to screw up CY at any time of Not To Be Trusted Turkey's future choosing, can go take a hike (as they say in America) ... or go asihktir (as they say in the rest of the World).

I said it before and I'll say it again. You go asikdir any time you like but the TCs will keep their guarantor and their gurantee. Surely it is our democratic right, No?

[paliometoxo]

I agree with you re file, but for a solution to cyprus dont both sides have to accept any solution? so in that sense any part of a solution would have to be accepted by both sides such as no garantore powers or anything else.

i dont think we should have any garantee powers in cyprus just like any other country has none, why should cyprus have any? so they can have control of the island with military force? keep army on the island forever? i think its to much demands for a 18% minority but they still have to accept any solution otherwise we will go nowhere

of course you have a right to be safe, but we shouldent have to have garantore powers in cyprus, especially when there is no chance of war again. its 2010 now not 1963

Palio if there is no chance of war then it should make no difference to the GCs. It will not be utilised. You know, you don't expect your house to burn down but you do insure it just in case. It's no different.
