The Republic of Cyprus is willing to cooperate with Turkey, in the context of the European Union, to contain illegal immigration, Neoklis Sylikiotis, Minister of Interior, has said.

“Such cooperation has to take place, since most illegal immigrants who come to Cyprus arrive through the country’s northern occupied areas, which have been under Turkish occupation since 1974 and therefore under the control of the Turkish military,” he pointed out."
