The TRNC's New York Representative, Resat Caglar, in a letter sent, which was published as a UN document, responded to allegations made by the Greek Cypriot Administration's Permanent Representative to the UN in New York. In his letter, Caglar said, it was true that Cyprus was occupied, but this occupation was the years long usurpation of the "government" seat by the Greek Cypriot side.

Explaining that there has not been a joint administration on the island since 1963, Caglar said the Greek Cypriot side still continued to allege that it was the "Cyprus Government".

Pointing out that the Greek Cypriot representative's statements were not the first time that the Greek Cypriot side tried to mislead international public opinion with its allegations, Caglar said allegations to the effect that "Turkey is taking new steps aimed at increasing its population in the north and is bringing new so-called refugees to the country", was speculation and totally unfounded.

Reminding that EOKA members, who murdered Turkish Cypriots, British citizens and even Greek Cypriots on the island, who didn't share their own opinions, were recently honoured with medals in a ceremony carried out in the Greek Cypriot side, Caglar said, the Turkish Cypriot side was ready to form a new partnership on the island, but that for this to happen it had to sit down at the negotiating table with a counterpart who was ready to negotiate and would not resort to sly tactics.

It has been stated that the division between South Cyprus and Greece is steadily growing.

According to news reports from the Greek Cypriot press, it has been stated that the cracks in relations between the Greek Cypriot Administration and Greece is slowly increasing each day and that, although, the two sides are trying very hard to conceal this reality, it has reached the point where it can no longer be concealed.

The Greek Cypriot daily 'Alithia' reported that, Greek Cypriot leader, Tassos Papadopoulos, had rejected the Greek government's appointment of Kostas Tritarisi to South Cyprus. The daily said the fact that the Greek Cypriot Administration had not appointed an ambassador to Athens had created discomfort in Greece. For months, the Greek press has been reporting that a Greek Cypriot Ambassador has not been appointed to Athens and that South Cyprus' representation in Greece is at a much lower level.
