The European Commission has appointed Executive Vice President Raffaele Fitto as a special representative for Cyprus, prompting formal objections from both Türkiye and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

歐盟委員會任命執行副主席 Raffaele Fitto 為賽普勒斯特別代表，引起了土耳其與北賽普勒斯土耳其共和國（TRNC）的正式反對。

The appointment of a special envoy is characterized by the Turkish Foreign Ministry as an internal administrative procedure of the European Union. However, this institutional action occurs against a backdrop of perceived systemic partiality. Ankara asserts that the European Union's neutrality was compromised in 2004 following the accession of the Greek Cypriot administration, a development that coincided with the rejection of a United Nations-sponsored comprehensive settlement plan. Consequently, the Turkish government maintains that EU institutions, specifically the European Parliament, have exhibited an increasingly biased trajectory regarding the island's status.

土耳其外交部將任命特使定性為歐盟內部的行政程序。然而，此項制度行動發生在被認為存在系統性偏頗的背景之下。安卡拉聲稱，隨著希臘裔賽普勒斯政權在 2004 年加入歐盟，歐盟的中立性已受損，而此發展恰逢聯合國支持的全面解決方案被否決。因此，土耳其政府認為歐盟機構，特別是歐洲議會，在該島地位問題上表現出日益偏頗的傾向。

Parallel to this, the TRNC Foreign Ministry has categorized the appointment as a provocative and unlawful measure, citing the absence of Turkish Cypriot consent. The TRNC posits that the EU's credibility has been eroded by its unilateral recognition of the Greek Cypriot administration. From the perspective of the TRNC, any attempt to establish a fait accompli through coordination with Greek Cypriots is destined for failure. The TRNC further stipulates that the removal of existing restrictions on Turkish Cypriots is a prerequisite for the EU to demonstrate sincerity in the peace process.

與此同時，北賽普勒斯外交部將此次任命歸類為挑釁且不合法的措施，理由是缺乏北賽普勒斯土耳其人的同意。北賽普勒斯認為，歐盟單方面承認希臘裔賽普勒斯政權，已使其信譽受損。從北賽普勒斯的角度來看，任何試圖透過與希臘裔賽普勒斯人協調來製造既定事實的嘗試都注定失敗。北賽普勒斯進一步規定，歐盟必須先解除對北賽普勒斯土耳其人的現有限制，才能證明其在和平進程中的誠意。

Historically, the conflict is rooted in ethnic violence during the 1960s and a 1974 coup attempt by Greek Cypriots aimed at annexation, which precipitated Turkish military intervention under its guarantor obligations. This sequence led to the 1983 establishment of the TRNC. Despite subsequent diplomatic initiatives, including a 2017 Swiss-based effort, a resolution remains elusive. Both Türkiye and the TRNC contend that a sustainable rapprochement is contingent upon the recognition of two sovereign, equal states based on the current geopolitical realities of the island.

從歷史上看，該衝突根源於 1960 年代的種族暴力，以及 1974 年希臘裔賽普勒斯人旨在併吞的政變企圖，這導致土耳其根據其擔保人義務進行軍事干預。這一系列事件導致了 1983 年北賽普勒斯的成立。儘管隨後採取了外交倡議，包括 2017 年在瑞士進行的努力，但解決方案依然難以達成。土耳其與北賽普勒斯均主張，可持續的和解取決於根據該島目前的地緣政治現實，承認兩個主權平等的國家。

Türkiye and the TRNC continue to reject the EU's current diplomatic framework, insisting instead on a model of sovereign equality for a lasting settlement.

土耳其與北賽普勒斯繼續拒絕歐盟目前的外交框架，堅持採取主權平等模式以實現持久解決方案。
