The European Commission chose Raffaele Fitto as a special person for Cyprus. Turkey and Northern Cyprus say this is wrong.

歐盟委員會選擇 Raffaele Fitto 作為賽普勒斯的特別代表。土耳其與北賽普勒斯表示這樣是不正確的。

Turkey says the EU is not fair. The EU joined with Greek Cypriots in 2004. Turkey believes the EU only helps one side now.

土耳其表示歐盟並不公平。歐盟在 2004 年與希臘賽普勒斯人結合。土耳其認為歐盟現在僅在幫助其中一方。

Northern Cyprus says this choice is illegal. They did not agree to it. They want the EU to stop rules that hurt Turkish Cypriots first.

北賽普勒斯表示此選擇是不合法的。他們並未同意。他們希望歐盟首先停止那些損害土耳其賽普勒斯人的規定。

There is a long fight on the island. It started many years ago with violence. Now, Turkey and Northern Cyprus want the world to see them as two equal states.

該島存在長期的鬥爭。這場鬥爭在許多年前因暴力而開始。現在，土耳其與北賽普勒斯希望國際社會將他們視為兩個平等的國家。

Turkey and Northern Cyprus do not like the EU plan. They want two separate and equal countries for peace.

土耳其與北賽普勒斯不認同歐盟的計劃。他們希望建立兩個獨立且平等的國家以實現和平。

The European Commission has appointed Executive Vice President Raffaele Fitto as a special representative for Cyprus. This decision has led to formal objections from both Turkey 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。此決定引起了土耳其與北賽普勒斯共和國（TRNC）的正式反對。

The Turkish Foreign Ministry stated that while the appointment is an internal EU procedure, it happens at a time when the EU is seen as biased. Ankara emphasized that the EU lost its neutrality in 2004 when the Greek Cypriot administration joined the union. Consequently, the Turkish government asserts that EU institutions, including the European Parliament, have become increasingly one-sided regarding the status of the island.

土耳其外交部表示，雖然任命是歐盟內部程序，但此舉發生在歐盟被視為存在偏見之時。安卡拉強調，自從希臘賽普勒斯政權於 2004 年加入歐盟後，歐盟便失去了中立性。因此，土耳其政府主張包括歐洲議會在內的歐盟機構，在島嶼地位問題上變得日益單方面。

At the same time, the TRNC Foreign Ministry described the appointment as a provocative and illegal move because Turkish Cypriots were not consulted. The TRNC argued that the EU's credibility has declined because it only recognizes the Greek Cypriot administration. Furthermore, they stated that any plan created only with Greek Cypriots will fail. The TRNC also insisted that the EU must first remove restrictions on Turkish Cypriots to show it is sincere about peace.

與此同時，北賽普勒斯共和國外交部將此次任命描述為挑釁且非法的舉動，因為土耳其賽普勒斯人未被諮詢。北賽普勒斯共和國認為，由於歐盟僅認可希臘賽普勒斯政權，其公信力已然下降。此外，他們聲明任何僅與希臘賽普勒斯人共同制定的計劃都將失敗。北賽普勒斯共和國亦堅持，歐盟必須首先取消對土耳其賽普勒斯人的限制，以證明其對和平的誠意。

Historically, the conflict began with ethnic violence in the 1960s and a 1974 coup attempt by Greek Cypriots, which caused Turkey to intervene militarily. This led to the creation of the TRNC in 1983. Despite various diplomatic attempts, such as the 2017 talks in Switzerland, no solution has been found. Both Turkey and the TRNC maintain that a lasting peace is only possible if the world recognizes two sovereign and equal states.

從歷史來看，衝突始於 1960 年代的種族暴力以及 1974 年希臘賽普勒斯人的政變企圖，導致土耳其進行軍事干預。這促成了 1983 年北賽普勒斯共和國的成立。儘管採取了各種外交嘗試（例如 2017 年在瑞士舉行的會談），但仍未找到解決方案。土耳其與北賽普勒斯共和國均堅持，唯有在世界認可兩個主權平等國家的情況下，才可能實現持久和平。

Turkey and the TRNC continue to reject the EU's current diplomatic approach, insisting instead on a model of sovereign equality to reach a final agreement.

土耳其與北賽普勒斯共和國繼續拒絕歐盟目前的外交手段，轉而堅持以主權平等的模式來達成最終協議。

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。
