Türkiye's Foreign Ministry has rejected a European Parliament resolution on Cyprus, describing it as "null and void" and accusing the assembly of adopting a biased approach to the longstanding issue.

In a written statement, the ministry condemned the resolution, saying it contained "baseless and irrational allegations" targeting the Turkish Armed Forces.

The ministry also expressed full support for a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in response to the resolution.

According to the statement, the resolution reflects what Türkiye described as the European Union's and, in particular, the European Parliament's increasingly biased and distorted approach to the Cyprus issue under the influence of certain circles.

The Foreign Ministry further said it was concerned that EU institutions were moving further away from historical realities and impartiality in their handling of the Cyprus issue.

The European Parliament adopted the resolution during its plenary session, drawing criticism from both Ankara and the TRNC authorities. (ILKHA)
