"We will not settle for half a homeland, and we will not stop fighting for what is right until the day we return," said the Speaker of the House, Anita Dimitriou, in a post on social media regarding the second phase of the Turkish invasion on August 14, 1974, and Famagusta.
“Attila II entered the city. Life came to an abrupt halt. Famagusta turned into a ghost town, and its people took to the roads as refugees. Fifty-two years later, our souls remain rooted there on its golden sands. Famagusta calls to us. All of our occupied land awaits justice. Together with those holding the line at Thermopylae—our people trapped there,” said Ms. Dimitriou.

“The illegal invasion and the ongoing occupation constitute a continuous violation of international law. We have every right to demand what is self-evident—the same rights that apply to every other European citizen. We will not stop fighting for the liberation and reunification of our homeland. For a Cyprus free of occupying forces, free of anachronistic guarantees, and free of interventionist rights,” he further noted.
“We must support the UN Secretary-General’s new initiative with seriousness and responsibility. We must utilize every diplomatic means and every step both within and outside the EU, through smart strategic maneuvers in coordination with Greece, to bring Turkey to the table for substantive negotiations. “There is no room in this process for populism, empty slogans, or ideological rigidity,” he emphasized.
“We will not settle for half a homeland, and we will not stop fighting for what is right. Until the blessed day of our return,” concluded the Speaker of the House.
