Tayyip Erdogan is expected to arrive in the occupied territories of northern Cyprus on Sunday as part of the celebrations for the 37th anniversary of the founding of the pseudo-state.
During his visit, the Turkish president will visit the Kemal monument in occupied Nicosia, and will be in the besieged city of Famagusta, an unprecedented challenge, which is in stark contrast to the UN Security Council resolutions and certainly is and hinders further negotiations for the solution of the Cyprus problem, with Athens and Nicosia reacting strongly.
It is recalled that at the end of last month, Erdogan decided to open the closed compound of Varos, provoking the anger of Cyprus and the intervention of the UN Security Council, which requested the annulment of the corresponding decision of Ankara. However, he was not discouraged and is now going to have a picnic with the new Turkish Cypriot leader, Ersin Tatar.
The information also indicates that Erdogan will be accompanied on this provocative visit by his government partner Devlet Bahceli, the leader of the far-right Nationalist Action Party. 
Feverish preparations
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu has been in the Occupied Territories since Friday, inspecting preparations for the arrival of the Turkish president.
The work in the last few days has been hectic. In front of the dilapidated buildings that scream looting and looting, wooden picnic tables and new posters inform visitors, in three languages, about the opening hours of the closed city.
At the same time, trucks, bulldozers and excavators worked constantly, while asphalt paving and the construction of bicycle lanes were carried out.
Reports in the Turkish Cypriot media speak of grass being transported to the so-called “national park” and where Tayyip Erdogan will hold his macabre picnic. 
Athens: unprecedented challenge
Athens speaks of energy adding to the continuing and growing escalation of Turkish criminal behavior in the eastern Mediterranean.
“The visit of the Turkish president to Varos, on the eve of the” anniversary “of the unilateral and illegal declaration of the Turkish Cypriot entity in the occupied territories, is an unprecedented challenge, which is in total contradiction with Resolutions 550 and 789 of the Council of UN Security, as well as the Conclusions of the European Council “, underlines the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement, stressing that this action” adds to the continuous and growing escalation of Turkish criminal behavior in the Eastern Mediterranean. “
At the same time, it expresses its hope that this new provocative action will be debated in the December European Council, while reiterating its position on the resumption of negotiations for a comprehensive, just and sustainable solution to the Cyprus problem. 
Nicosia: unprecedented challenge
Nicosia describes Tayyip Erdogan’s presence in the besieged city of Famagusta as an unprecedented challenge, which is in total contradiction to the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
More specifically, the Presidency of the Republic of Cyprus declares the following:
“The presence of the President of Turkey in the celebrations for the 37th anniversary of the proclamation of the pseudo-state, as well as his visit to the besieged city of Famagusta, are an unprecedented challenge and are in total contradiction with the Security Council resolutions of the UN, 550 and 789.
“At the same time, they undermine the efforts of the UN Secretary General to convene an informal pentagon and do not contribute to creating a favorable and positive climate for the resumption of talks to resolve the Cyprus problem.” At the same time, these actions provoke the sentiment of the entire Cypriot people, and especially the people of Famagusta.
“The President of the Republic has denounced in his letters the actions of Turkey and the illegal occupation regime, both to the UN Secretary General and to the heads of the EU institutions and to the Heads of State and Government of the states EU members, while these challenges “will be discussed at the next December European Council, where the EU is expected to make decisions on the future of Euro-Turkish relations.”
