    Turkey remains committed to finding a political settlement of the Cyprus issue and has clearly demonstrated its resolve in this regard. Accordingly, Turkey supports the ongoing UN negotiating process and the constructive attitude of the Turkish Cypriot side towards achieving a comprehensive settlement. The commitment of the Turkish side to the settlement aim is also confirmed by the UN. Pending a comprehensive settlement, the position of Turkey on Cyprus will remain unchanged: There is no single authority which in law or in fact is competent to represent jointly the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots, consequently Cyprus as a whole. Turkey will thus continue to regard the Greek Cypriot authorities as exercising authority, control and jurisdiction only in the territory south of the buffer zone, as is currently the case, as not representing the Turkish Cypriot people and will treat the acts performed by them accordingly. In view of the above, Turkey's adherence to The International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling and its Protocol should in no way be construed as the recognition of the so-called ‘Republic of Cyprus’ by Turkey nor should it imply any obligation on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the so-called Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling and its Protocol Activities.
