State denounces Gul visit

THE FOREIGN Ministry yesterday condemned Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s visit to the occupied areas and warned that Turkey’s behaviour would not be tolerated.

It also added that the visit would inevitably create obstacles to Turkey’s accession course.
The Foreign Ministry said Turkey’s actions depicted its complete disrespect to the UN, EU and is a serious provocation against the international community.

In turn, all political parties yesterday spoke out against Gul’s visit also calling it provocative and illegal.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
