Turkey's policy leads to a Dead End
Turkey follows a policy that leads to a dead end, stated Greek government spokesman Dimitris Reppas when he was asked to comment on Ankara's refusal to accept the European Court for Human Rights decision.
Mr. Reppas reiterated that Turkey has to respect the decisions reached by the international courts.
Also, Greek foreign ministry spokesman Panos Beglitis, commenting on the European Court for Human Rights decision, characterized the development as very positive for the Cyprus problem both from a political and a moral point of view.
He said that it is a very positive development because the court ruled for the first time against Turkey and not against the Turkish Cypriot authorities on the violation of human rights in Cyprus, stressing that this court decision must be implemented. He also said that this decision will contribute decisively to the political solution of the Cyprus problem, adding that it does not deal only with the issue of the refugees and the violations of human rights but it is linked with other aspects of the problem as well.
Mr. Beglitis stated that the policy of internationalization of the Cyprus
problem that was followed by the governments of Athens and Nicosia was
vindicated, adding that this policy will continue with joint coordination
and efforts.
