On the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the illegal declaration of the pseudo-state, Anorthosis issued a statement condemning Turkey’s actions and emphasizing the need for international mobilization regarding the Cyprus issue. At the same time, the club reiterated its commitment to contribute by every means available to the effort to return refugees to their ancestral homes.
In detail: “Anorthosis Famagusta condemns in the strongest possible terms the illegal declaration of the pseudo-state by the Turkish occupation regime in the occupied northern part of Cyprus, exactly 43 years ago today (November 15, 1983), in violation of every rule of international law.

Since then, no state other than Turkey itself has recognized this illegal entity, with the Republic of Cyprus remaining the sole legitimate entity affiliated with international organizations such as the UN, the EU, and others.
For Anorthosis, part of its mission is to raise awareness both within and beyond Cyprus’s borders about the occupation problem facing Cyprus and, using whatever means at its disposal, to contribute to the effort to return every refugee to theirhome.
We also call on the international community to address the problem of Cyprus, just as it rightly does in other cases of violations of the principles of international law, by imposing the necessary sanctions on Turkey, which remains intransigent and, through its illegal actions, continually attempts to alter the status of the island to the detriment of its lawful inhabitants.”
