EDEK President Sofia Christodoulou-Makri, in letters addressed to the Presidents of the Party of European Socialists, the Group of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, and the Socialist International, denounced the inappropriate, unethical, and unconstitutional behavior of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan toward the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Christodoulides, at the recent UN climate summitheld in Antalya, Turkey.
A statement from EDEK notes that Ms. Christodoulou-Makri states in her letters, among other things, that during the reception of heads of state and government in Antalya, the Turkish President ostentatiously and inappropriately walked out of the entrance to the conference venue, refusing to welcome the President of Cyprus, and that he extended an invitation to the so-called “president” of the illegal entity in the occupied territories to attend the conference, in violation of UN Security Council Resolutions 541 and 550 on Cyprus.
The letters propose that the three Socialist organizations condemn the Turkish President’s actions.
