Statement on the anniversary of the illegal proclamation of the pseudo-state ("TRNC")
The Central Council of EDON strongly condemns the proclamation of the pseudo-state. 31 years are completed since the culmination of the partitionist actions of Turkey and the T/c leadership on November 15, 1983, after the illegal creation of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”, which implemented plans of NATO and imperialism for the partition of Cyprus.
The anniversary of the proclamation of the pseudo-state this year, finds the Cyprus problem stalling. After the Turkish provocations in the EEZ of Cyprus, negotiations have been suspended. EDON reiterate that the intercommunal negotiations under the aegis of the United Nations on the basis of the UN resolutions, is the only way to proceed in a solution of the Cyprus problem. Solution of the Cyprus problem is a top priority for us and therefore we cannot consent to a definitive end of the negotiation process which is totally different from the temporary suspension. These developments are carried out in a period of history revisionism and falsification while Anastasiades’ Government honors the people who catalyzed democracy with the fascist coup d’état (1974) and equalize them with the heroes who defend democracy and sacrificed for freedom.
We reaffirm our will, to achieve a just, viable and functional solution of the Cyprus problem. We continue our struggle for a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with a single citizenship, a single sovereignty and a single international personality, with political equality as it is defined by the relevant UN resolutions. This is the only solution that can reunite the country and our people. Any other fine-sounded forms of solution, lead to a final partition of Cyprus rewarding Turkey. Main goal is to end the occupation, the settlements and the consolidating of the fait accompli of the Turkish invasion.
EDON calls upon the youth of Cyprus to be at the forefront of the anti-occupation struggle of our people for liberation and reunification, defending the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus. We call the youth, to participate in a massive and militant way in anti-occupation of the Organized Student Movement all over Cyprus.
