Ignoring Security Council resolutions on the 45-year-old fenced-in part of Famagusta, Varos, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu became the highest-ranking Turkish government official to enter Famagusta since its occupation on 14.
This move by Ankara is equivalent to the expansion of the Turkish occupation on the island as, with two resolutions of the SA. of the UN in 1984 and 1992 Ankara is called upon to hand over the besieged city to the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). However, 45 years and 26 days after the occupation of the city by the Turkish occupation troops, on the afternoon of Monday 09/09/2019, Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu, accompanied by the so-called Foreign Minister of the Occupied Territories Kudret ερersay and a military custodian, entered Varosia.
The news was first broadcast by the Turkish Agency Anatolou, noting that "Varosi, from 1974 until today is a military zone", adding that Mr. Tsavousoglou toured the closed city and was informed by the military. It is said that the fact that Mr. Tsavousoglu was accompanied by Mr. Ozersay, who will unexpectedly be the rival of Mustafa Akinci in the illegal "presidential elections" in the occupied territories in April, is of particular importance.
Ankara is backing and rewarding Akinci's rival, who last June also announced a plan to settle in Famagusta, which Turkish tourism developers are looking forward to making Las Vegas offshore, as has been said, turning all hotels into hotels. , without control and taxation.
In fact, the protégé of Ankara, together with the so-called Prime Minister of the Occupied Territories Ersin Tatar, disputed the ownership of the Greek Cypriot property in Varosia, and announced a "government decision" to register the property in the city as they now claim that in 1571, the properties belong to the Vakufia, (Muslim religious institutions).
Before entering Varosia, Mr. Tsavousoglou had long contacts with Mustafa Akinci and Turkish political leaders.
