Reactions in occupied territories to potential legal measures from Republic of Cyprus

The 'foreign ministry' of the pseudo-state responds to an announcement by the Republic of Cyprus regarding legal proceedings against five Greek Cypriots in the **occupied territories**.

According to reports, the 'foreign ministry' rejects claims against Turkey and argues that **'the only occupation on the island was the usurpation of the 1960 partnership state by the Greek Cypriots and its transformation into a Greek Cypriot state.'**

The pseudo-state claims that the authorities of the 'trnc' are the only competent authority within its borders and that the cases are conducted with judicial independence. It also rejects the claim that the target is Greek Cypriots who have appealed to the 'immovable property commission', accusing the Greek Cypriot side of obstructive behavior.

The announcement concludes by calling on the 'Greek Cypriot administration of southern Cyprus' to abandon efforts to influence judicial proceedings.
