RT by @EU_Commission: Today, on this tragic 50th anniversary, and every day, we stand with Cyprus.

We stand in support of territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Cypriots deserve to live in a reunited country in conditions of peace, co-existence, stability and prosperity.

The Cyprus question is a European one. We will continue to firmly support Cyprus in the efforts to reunify the last divided EU member state, in line with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.
