MAE Hellénique, lundi, 20 octobre 2014:
«Malheureusement, la Turquie n’a pas entendu la voix de la communauté
internationale, elle n’a pas entendu la voix de l’ONU et de l’Union
européenne, elle n’a pas entendu la voix de la légalité internationale.
Son
navire, le Barbaros, se trouve dans la zone économique exclusive et le
plateau continental chypriote et tentera d’effectuer des recherches qui
manifestement constituent une violation flagrante du droit international
de la mer, car dans cette région la délimitation du plateau continental
et de la zone économique exclusive de la République de Chypre n’est pas
contestée.
Hellenic MFA, Monday, 13 October 2014:
E. VENIZELOS: It is a great pleasure to welcome to Athens, to the
Foreign Ministry, my dear old friend and colleague Ioannis Kasoulides,
the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Cyprus.
With Mr.
Kasoulides we had the opportunity for a one-on-one meeting, followed by a
meeting of the delegations under our direction. Thus, in two different
phases we discussed in detailed depth the situation that has taken shape
in Cyprus following the Turkish initiative, in violation of
international law, of the declaration, through a NAVTEX, of the carrying
out of exploration in maritime zones of the Republic of Cyprus, in a
region in which the Republic of Cyprus exercises its national sovereign
rights; that is, in a region of the Cypriot exclusive economic zone and
continental shelf.
Greece
has accused Turkey of escalating tensions around Cyprus and undermining
negotiations on settlement of the Cyprus issue, the Greek Foreign
Ministry said in a Thursday statement.
"Unfortunately, at the
center ... is Turkey’s refusal to see that the Republic of Cyprus is an
independent and sovereign state, a member of the UN and the European
Union, that exercises sovereignty and sovereign rights, in accordance
with international law.

“I
thank you for your letter, expressing some thoughts on ways to solve a
major problem which has been keeping Cyprus divided for forty years, a
drama whose perpetuation in our times contravenes the core values of our
civilization and fundamental provisions of international law.
The
history of the problem is well known and has been much discussed.
Responsibilities certainly exist. However, we must not remain forever
prisoners of the past.
