YEREVAN. – Armenia will never recognize attempts to divide Cyprus,
Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian said on Tuesday during the joint
press conference with his Cypriot counterpart Erato Kozaku-Markulis
in Yerevan.

“It is necessary to find a fair, legal solution of the issue. We
support Cyprus in this context,” Nalbandian said.

As for the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the Armenian FM stressed
the role of the mediators directed to the settlement of the conflict.

In her turn, Kozaku-Markulis said that over 45,000 servicemen are
placed in the northern occupied part of the island, making the 37%
of the territory. While over 200,000 Cypriot-Greeks were deported
from the territory and they have no possibility to return back and
take back their property.
