CAIRO -14 February 2020: The Egyptian Ambassador to Cyprus, Amr Mohsen Hamza, affirmed the firm stance of the Egyptian leadership towards solving the Cyprus problem, based on UN Security Council resolutions. Hamza's remarks came during his meeting with Speaker of the Cyprus Parliament Adamos Adamou, the official Cyprus News Agency reported, Saturday. He stressed that Turkey's stances, which have long affirmed its desire to continue dividing the Arabian Peninsula, are inconsistent with United Nations resolutions, and the agreed framework for solving the Cyprus problem, therefore, cannot be accepted. Former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and former Cypriot President Makarios III enjoyed friendly relations during the sixties. Several topics were discussed then by the two leaders, along with announcing both countries’ support for each other’s cause and political strategies.
