In July, Azerbaijan began operating flights between its capital and Northern Cyprus, which is under Turkish military occupation. As Cypriot Members of this House – and in particular Members of our parliamentary group – have said, these flights are in breach of the principles of civil aviation and international law.
I wish to point out that this is not the only example of attempts at imposing recognition, on a practical level, of the Turkish military occupation of part of Cyprus, the so-called ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’, which is not recognised by the United Nations. Parliament recently decided to set up a ‘contact group for relations with the Northern part of Cyprus’, a move condemned by our parliamentary group. There have also been initiatives on the part of the Commission, such as the one aimed at establishing direct trade relations with the occupied part of Cypress – currently blocked by the Council on account of opposition among various Member States – which rides roughshod over United Nations resolutions.
Hence our vote against the report."@en1
