Security Council Press Statement on Cyprus

“The members of the Security Council welcomed the briefing on 9 October by Assistant Secretary- General Oscar Fernandez- Taranco on the situation in Cyprus.  

The members of the Security Council recalled the importance of the status of Varosha as set out in previous United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 550 (1984) and Resolution 789 (1992), and reiterated that no actions should be carried out in relation to Varosha that are not in accordance with those Resolutions.  

The Members of the Security Council stressed the importance of implementing its Resolutions.

The members of the Security Council reaffirmed Resolution 2483 (2019) and the importance of an enduring, comprehensive and just settlement based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as set out in relevant Security Council Resolutions.  In this regard, they called on the parties to engage constructively, and with a sense of urgency. They also encouraged the leaders to agree on, and implement, new confidence-building measures.

The members of the Security Council urged the sides and all involved participants to refrain from any actions and rhetoric that might damage the chances of success for a settlement.”

Η δήλωση του Κύπριου Πρέσβη αναφέρει: 

Μόνιμος Αντιπρόσωπος, Πρέσβης Ανδρέας Δ. Μαυρογιάννης

“On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, I would like to express our satisfaction for the Statement to the Press adopted today by the Security Council, and just read out by its President, H.E. Mr. Jerry Matthews Matjila, Permanent Representative of South Africa.

I take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to the members of the Security Council for heeding our appeal and taking up the issue of Famagusta.

This follows recent threats by Turkey and its subordinate local administration in the occupied part of Cyprus, to settle the fenced area of Varoshia and create new, additional and irreversible faits accomplis on the ground. As you would recall Famagusta and in particular this part of the city of Varoshia, benefits from a special attention from the Security Council, in particular through Resolutions 550 (1984) and 789 (1992).

Its special status has been recalled and upheld throughout the years and its priority as a potential game changer, in the efforts for a settlement of the Cyprus problem, has repeatedly been underlined.

I hope that the reaffirmation today by the Security Council of all its relevant Resolutions and the call for their implementation is a sufficiently strong message, that will put an end to the illegal attempts underway and will prevent further such attempts in the future.”
