KAZAKHSTAN SAYS YES TO CYPRUS, NO TO TURKEY🚨
Kazakhstan publicly backs UN Security Council Resolutions 541 & 550, declaring the Turkish-occupied “TRNC” illegal and invalid.
Despite shared Turkic ties, not only Kazakhstan, but Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan too are refusing to recognize the occupation regime in northern Cyprus.
They continue to recognize only the Republic of Cyprus as the legitimate government of the entire island.
This move has angered Ankara and the occupation leader Tufan Erhurman, especially as President Christodoulides visits Kazakhstan to open a Cyprus embassy in Astana, sign MOUs and bilateral agreements.
A new connection between Cyprus and Kazakhstan started yesterday. Air Astana launched its inaugural direct flight from Astana to Larnaca. The return flight carried President Christodoulides and members of the government, making it the first official visit by a Cypriot president to Kazakhstan.
Cultural brotherhood has its limits, these Turkic states prioritize international law and pragmatic relations over doing Turkey any favors on the Cyprus issue.
