Today is the 17th anniversary of the opening of the crossing points by the Turkish Cypriot side on 23 April 2003.
Between April 2003 and March 2020, there have been around 20 million crossings with peaceful intermingling of fellow Cypriots, after 29 years of being kept apart.
The pandemic crisis is a stark reminder to all that cooperation is needed in order for the necessary measures to be taken that will ensure the protection of all the people on the island. Taking partitionist measures in tackling the pandemic makes the prospects of a united Cyprus even more difficult. We are stronger in overcoming it when we are united.
Following the confirmation of corona virus cases in Cyprus - from the UK and Italy in the south and from Germany in the north – UniteCyprusNow now suspends its participation in mass demonstrations until further notice.
The decision by the Republic of Cyprus government to close four out of seven crossing points on the grounds that measures are taken against the corona virus is not only an insult to our intelligence but also to our rights.
In the last two weeks, two reports have been published on the economic opportunities of a federal solution of the Cyprus problem.
We strongly condemn the lynch campaign from Turkish and Turkish Cypriot nationalist circles against the elected leader of the Turkish Cypriots, Mr. Mustafa Akıncı.
