Greece will continue to contribute "firmly and responsibly to the restoration of international legitimacy in Cyprus, which can only be achieved through the end of the occupation, the abolition of the anachronistic status of the guarantees and the reunification of Cyprus, on the basis of the UN Security Council Decisions," the Foreign Ministry stressed in a statement announcing the completion of 35 years of the unlawful and unilateral declaration of the "independence" of the pseudo-state.

Following today's meeting with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras promised to support the island's government, regarding reunification discussions by both territories.

"There is no country named Cyprus," said Turkish PM Recep Tayip Erdogan speaking to Turkish-Cypriot daily Kibris at the conclusion of a meeting in Poland addressing Turkey's relations with the European Union.
